33. We used a JEOL JSM 6340F scanning electron microscope operated at 8 kV.
34. Cross-sectional specimens were prepared by embedding the samples in epoxy resin and slicing them normal to the wafer surface with a diamond wire saw. The ∼400 μm thick sections thus obtained were ground, polished to a thickness of ∼80 μm, dimple-ground, further polished to a thickness of less than 15 μm and thinned to electron transparency by ion-milling from both sides with Ar (PIPS, Gatan). TEM investigations were performed with a Phillips CM20T operated at 200 kV.

39. 3 was derived using the method described in ref 38, and the number of molecules located within the effective excitation volume was calculated to be about 10 500 000.
40. Au was sputtered onto the smooth surface of a Si wafer for 16 seconds (400 W, direct current) using a Discovery-18 sputter coater (Denton Vacuum). The nominal layer thickness was 20 nm.
