70. If the molecule is chemisorbed on the metal surface and assumes a configuration that maximizes its interaction with the substrate, charge exchange with the substrate may be so efficient that a hole (electron) in the molecule can be near to completely screened by the other electrons of the molecule-substrate complex, so that the molecule remains neutral. This may be the case if an aromatic molecule lies flat on the surface. In such a case, there will not be an image potential in the substrate and no polarization of neighbors, as no effective charge is localized on the molecule.

96. For molecules and polymers now regularly used in organic light-emitting diodes and field effect transistor research, this is becoming less of a problem.

99. In recent work, we (DC, AK) found that, if the top contact to a molecular film that is chemically bound to a substrate is made of a material reactive with the substrate/molecule interface, and can penetrate between the molecules, then it can also change the original substrate/molecule interface. This adds another source of heterogeneity.
