13. ref is the diamagnetism of the GaAs substrate and the mounting varnish. We use a 12 Oe applied field to ensure that trapped flux in the SQUID solenoid does not result in a net field that opposes the initial magnetization.
14. r in the chemisorbed single layer samples was three to ten times larger, which we believe also arises from surface binding of the organic molecules.
