31. The lattice constant of gold (III) is a = 2.884 Å, and the NN distance of monolayers is √3a = 5Å. In one stick-slip segment, the relative displacement between tail groups of opposite monolayers in the x direction is √3a/2, either of them taking half, namely √3a/4. In figure 4(a) the distance between adjacent MPs (R and F) of head groups in the x direction is √3a/6, which is 2/3 of the displacement of tail groups in one segment.
