28. The sample holder is similar to one designed by White et al. It is a brass block measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm with a 4 mm diameter hole drill through the center of the block. Two set screws are aligned opposite each other and centered on the through hole. These screws can be used to anchor the sample in the middle of the through hole if desired. We cut a groove perpendicular to the set screws connecting the 4 mm through hole to the outside edge of the block. A third set screw is aligned perpendicular to the slot and serves to hold the sample in place.
29. We define the RMS roughness factor (RRF) as RRF = (RMS roughness of the patterned area)/(RMS roughness of the unpatterned terrace).
30. Images obtained in dry and humid environments were essentially identical. However, in dry environments the tip became fouled more quickly and efforts to "clean" the tip by applying a short bias pulse were much less effective.

39. The NanoScope software calculates the mean feature level in the roughness analysis feature by calculating the average of all the z values within a selected area relative to the z value of the tip when it is engaged.

49. Also, the first patterning cycle in a dry environment after the system has been exposed to a humid environment frequently forms a partial pattern. This is probably the result of residual water on the hydrophilic tip. Similarly, when returning to a humid environment, frequently only a partial pattern is formed if the system is not fully equilibrated with the ambient.
