For the off-channeling trajectory, the procedure for computing the $S_\text{e}$ is depicted in Fig. \ref{fig:fit_off_channel}.
We tried two directions, approximately [$0.705, 0.610, 0.363$] and [$0.309, 0.5, 0.809$]
(given normalized here).
The first
direction was chosen by visual inspection of the supercell in order to \emph{not} match any simple channel and avoid also an immediate head on collision.
The second
direction is the normalized version of $[1, \phi, \phi^2]$, where $\phi$ is the
Golden Ratio golden ratio ($\sim 1.618$), which
is warranties a
number know for trajectory that is incommensurate with the cell, due to its mathematical properties as an irrational number.
It is important to note here an interesting geometrical fact that if the direction is incommensurate with the crystal direction, all available densities are probed eventually for a long enough trajectory.
Our simulations are limited in space (and time) but it is clear that the trajectories explore a wide range of impact parameters (distances of closest approach to host atom) and therefore densities.
The viability along with the necessity of using this geometrical averaging method was shown earlier in \cite{Schleife_2015}.
