70. Despite the assumption of the tunneling-injection mechanism that was not confirmed by previous studies, this work can also be applied to the thermally activated injection after weak modifications.

74. In several cases, it is possible to reach the conditions where the Fermi level is located below HOMO. For instance, this takes place for an ITO electrode coated by the self-assembled siloxane layer (see Malinksy, J. E.; Veinot, J. G. C.; Jabbour, G. E.; Shaheen, S. E.; Anderson, J. D.; Lee, P.; Richter, A. G.; Burin, A. L.; Ratner, M. A.; Marks, T. J.; Armstrong, N. R.; Kippelen, B.; Dutta, P.; Peyghambarian, N. Chem. Mater, manuscript to be published, 2002). In these systems, the image potential captures the extra charge and can still create a large injection barrier for conducting holes (see ref. 42).
