17. The thickness of the Co islands will be given in ML above the Cu surface. The theory also includes a buried layer. Since the Co islands are modeled as films, this is equivalent to an additional layer and the theoretical results for a coverage n ML, as given in the text and table, is thus a calculations for n + 1 ML.
