Correction to "Self-Assembly of a Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanomesh on Ru(0001)".

In our paper(1) the N 1s core level energy as obtained by Al Kα excited X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of boron nitride on Ru(0001) is not correctly reproduced, it is 398.63 ± 0.15 eV and not 389.63 ± 0.15 eV. Table 1 reproduces the B 1s and N 1s binding energies and work functions for h-BN on Rh(111), Ru(0001), Ni(111), and Pd(111).(2)Figure 1 reproduces the corresponding core level data with the correct energy scale. We are grateful to W. Auwarter for spotting these inconsistencies.
