25. The amount of deposited material was calibrated by evaporating silver and gold on bare NiAl(110), where both metals grow in a layer by layer fashion and determination of the coverage becomes possible from STM images.
26. All cluster diameters are upper limits due to tip convolution effects. The real size was estimated to be smaller by a factor of approximately 1.5.

33. We are aware that the presence of an embedding medium with partially absorbing properties is not inline with general assumptions of the Mie theory. Introducing of 15% NiAl into the averaged dielectric function can therefore only qualitatively consider the influence of a metallic support on the emission spectra.
