22. We note that the assumption of a crystal-like hexagonal array that is implied in Figure 4 is only an approximation to the real structure that lacks perfect long-range order. However, since the conclusions derived here only pertain to nearest neighbor interactions, we expect this simplification to be appropriate for particle array structures with approximately hexagonal local order.
