28. Since the binding energies of spectroscopic features can depend on the electric field between the tip and the sample, as was shown for the Shockley surface states of the (111) surfaces of Ag, Au, and Cu [L. Limot, T. Maroutian, P. Johansson, and R. Berndt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.91. 196801 91, 196801 (2003); J. Kröger, L. Limot, H. Jensen, R. Berndt, and P. Johansson, Phys. Rev. B 70, 033401 (2004)], we acquired analogous spectra for decreasing tip-sample distances (up to tunneling currents of 100 nA). A shift of the molecular orbital-related peaks, however, stayed below the detection limit. As a consequence we rule out any electric-field-related effects in the tunneling junction to drive the observed orbital energy shift.
