a Average occurrence after 100-ns simulations.

b Some of the simulations started with the CBM on the (010) surface at position B resulted in the CBM transferring to the (110) surface.

c 10% of the simulations started in the inverted position (with the wedge face on the (100) surface) flipped so that the planar face of the CBM faced the cellulose surface.
