20. Within the experimental resolution, the film thickness remained constant throughout the experiments.
21. The exponential decay is due to the input impedance R of our detection electronics and the capacitance C of the piezo bimorph. The time constant τ= RC is 0.72 s.

25. The maximum sliding speed was limited by the time constant of our detection electronics (see Ref. 16). Unquestionable identification of individual slip events required a separation of ≥0.3 s.

28. This is different from friction force microscopy experiments, where the contact area is only a few atoms wide and slip is coherent over the whole contact area, as manifested by the lattice resolution images.
