14. 2-Si structure had remained almost unaltered if it is not covered with Au nanoclusters in the last stroke of LB deposition.
15. 2-Si system the effect of band bending and the presence of surface states in the Si gap region make it difficult to locate the valence- and conduction-band edge accurately with respect to the Fermi level.
