13. In deriving the equivalent of our Eq. 9 for honeycomb lattices, N. Akutsu, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. JUPSAU 0031-9015 61, 477 (1992) noted that what we call η±(θ) can be written (23)sin(θ±π3).
14. This simple equivalency does not hold for stepped surfaces in an electrochemical system, where the electrode potential Ï is fixed rather than the surface charge density conjugate to Ï. H. Ibach and W. Schmickler, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.016106 91, 016106 (2003)
