40. It is important to note that what is described here is a static situation and not a dynamic process of a NW jumping from one trough to another and back. Since this NW flip is only a small part of the boundary between different NW arrays, we will not refer to it as boundary to prevent confusion.

43. as2 intermediate steps between brackets in Fig.. In the text we will follow the LDA values as a worst case scenario and try to explain the existence of the experimentally observed NWs within the framework of these calculations.

45. The number of atoms mentioned here is each time per 4 × 2 surface unit cell.
46. The same is true in case GGA functionals are used.
