33. The relative permittivity of π -conjugated wire molecules and surfactants is nearly 4. Although the nanoparticles are densely covered with the molecules and surfactants, the surrounding medium cannot be assumed to be of the most closely packed structure. We hence assume that the relative permittivity of surroundings of a nanoparticle is about 2.

41. Spin-flip scattering in magnetic junction with paramagnetic impurity was discussed and a higher resistance and lower magnetoresistance were expected as results of the spin-flip scattering on the paramagnetic impurity.
