28. For simplicity we denote different stacking terminations S1, S2, and S3 according to the number of equally oriented bilayers at the surface in accordance to previous papers (Refs. 2, 10, and 12).
29. p,max=0.16.
30. Based on the R-factor variance (Ref. 21), the error bar for determining a domain percentage is approx 15%. From this point of view the presence of S3 termination cannot be determined conclusively. Similarily, the geometry parameters obtained for this domain type must be considered to be uncertain and are therefore not included in Table I or in further discussion.
