13. The actual barrier height depends, via the image force, on the field at the injecting contact. With (Formula presented) the difference between the HOMO level and the metal Fermi level is meant.

17. One would expect plateaus of width 0.1–0.5 eV at both sides of (Formula presented). From Figs. 1(b) and 3 it is clear that the resulting plateaus are beyond experimental resolution. With the low-work-function metal Yb for electrode material, a plateau of about 3 eV was observed at negative bias, as expected (not shown).
