18. Kr can be capped with Xe, as was previously done without thermal cycling (Ref.), and the results are similar, but the lower desorption temperature makes controlled thermal cycling more difficult.

30. The correlation length l is determined by fitting to the function f (x) = [f (0) -f ()] exp (-x/l) +f (), where f (0) =1, f () = (ρ) 2 (1-ρ) 2, and ρ is the fraction of the substrate covered by Xe. The data were fitted over the first two correlation lengths. Over this length scale, the data exhibited exponential decay.
