20. For small molecules with slow motion, a related study can be achieved by the tracking technique as in and E. Hill, B. Freelon, and E. Ganz, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 60, 15896 (1999). However, the tracking technique requires a special algorithm and ultrafast scanning speed. Especially for such a highly diffusive molecular system, it will be difficult for a tracking method. 10.1103/PhysRevB.60.15896
