23. The second moment of the displacement distribution actually becomes wider at the edges [see Fig. 8(d)]; therefore, any calculated position-dependent diffusion constant would become larger at these points. However, due to limited spatial resolution in our experiment, it is difficult to directly observe this phenomenon.
