33. We note that for BSA currents an order of magnitude higher were measured using the LOFO method, in comparison with those for Hg contacts, and this issue is still being studied. One possible explanation is that, unlike Az and bR, BSA is not robust enough to withstand the deposition of a gold film without undergoing partial loss of conformation.
34. 14We attribute this discrepancy to two factors: first, in this previous work the oxide layer was much thicker (oxide grown on Al surface); second, the back contact made now with InGa could not be used on the AlOx surface, and the series resistance then was higher
35. -1 for free space, the barrier widths that will result in current levels that were measured with Az, bR, and BSA are 3.3, 3, and 5.3 Å respectively (for the full area of the junction, a case which is not likely in itself if only penetration in between adsorbed molecules is considered).
