12. Vibrational relaxation time and the electron dwell time in the molecule adsorbed on a thin oxide film are typically of the order of picoseconds, while the average time interval between two tunneling electrons is on the order of fraction of a nanosecond.

17. Only a rough estimate is possible due to uncertainties in the tip height above the surface as well as local dielectric properties of the oxide film.
