17. Note that the identity of the adparticle is not of importance to the results presented here and we used whatever was present in the UHV chamber from separate experiments. As the results presented in this article were acquired over the course of several years several different adparticle were used.

27. This is supported by three observations. First, the sombrero shaped protrusions are not observed when sputtering with Argon. Second, adsorbed Ne adatoms are imaged as a simple protrusion with a higher apparent height at similar tunneling parameters. Third, these adsorbed Ne adatoms are such vulnerable to the scanning process that they can only be imaged, if attached to defects in contrast to the sombrero shaped feature observed here.
28. As simultaneous atomic resolution requires imaging above the surface state onset, we were not able to achieve it on Ag(111) simultaneously with the bulk features and thus a row of protruding atoms could not be resolved.
