σSi: silicon/inner n-decyl layer interface (σSi). ρe,1, ρe,2, and ρe,3 are the electron densities of the first, second, and third layers from the Si surface, respectively. h1, h2, and h3 are the thicknesses of the first, second, and third layers from the Si surface, respectively. σ1, σ2, and σ3 are the surface RMS roughnesses of the first, second, and third layers from the Si surface, respectively. Note that ρe,2, ρe,3, h2, and h3 were fixed to the theoretical dimension and electron density of the backbone and side chains derived from the previous report.44 Note that the error values of h1, h2, and h3 are ±1.0 Å. The error values of σSi, σ1, σ2, and σ3 are ∼10% of the σ values. The error values of ρe,1, ρe,2, and ρe,3 are ∼10% of the ρe values.
