• benchmark would be the flower-shaped Sb islands first manipulated by Ritter et al. on HOPG and MoS2 [9]. Possible discrepancies between theory and experiment concerning the direction of motion and angular speed of the islands could be related to the friction forces between island and substrate and even used
