20. Due to convolution of the clusters’ dimensions with the finite radius of the AFM tip, AFM diameter measurements tended to give values that are much higher than actual values. So diameter measurement is avoided here.

33. Under present condition in our analysis chamber, samples cannot be aligned to be satisfactorily parallel to the PEEM anode (or transfer case), hence image distortion results.

49. For many semiconducting nanoclusters, some special surface terminations or passivations may significantly reduce the subband gap surface-states density (for example, Si nanoclusters passivated with hydrogen).
