20. Here, the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is defined as the gap between the edges of the HOMO and LUMO resonances
21. 60 monolayer and bilayer resonance widths are deduced from fits of the dI/ dV spectra assuming a split LUMO and LUMO+1 in both systems.

24. 60 monolayer increases screening of the on-site Coulomb charging energy, thus reducing the observed HOMO-LUMO gap.
