22. Because thermal fluctuations of the STM must be avoided, some care is necessary when filling the liquid nitrogen trap. We have found that a minimum time of 6 h is required to allow the STM to equilibrate back to room temperature after filling the liquid nitrogen trap, and before the next experiment is performed.

26. Fourier processing was used to remove the effects of 60 Hz interference in these images caused by the nearby solenoid gate valve in Chamber III. Switching to a dc-driven solenoid has since removed this source of instrumental noise.
