12. DHα4T films tend to undergo heat-induced surface morphology changes, particularly during thermal evaporation of gold. This problem can be avoided by radiation shielding and cooling of substrate at evaporation.
13. The present mobility is lower by a factor of 5 than that reported in Ref. 10. This slight discrepancy can be ascribed to thinner layers (5-6 molecular layers), different gold deposition (Ref. 11), less doped film, different electrode size and shape.
14. The delay of the response is partly due to the delivery time for odor to reach from the vapor source to the sample surface: The odor reaches the tip of the syringe at t=2sec. The distance between the tip of the syringe and the sample surface was set to be constant (3 mm) for all measurements.
