31. At higher temperatures, we performed the simulation for shorter periods than 1 min, because the surface configuration reaches the thermal equilibrium shorter than 1 min (60 s for 330-375 K, 10 s for 380-425 K, 2 s for 430-455 K, and 1 s for 460-500 K). We confirmed whether the system attains the equilibrium or not by monitoring the (2×2) spot intensity.
