(color online) Log-log plot of δθ and zb as functions of Ra. The δθ in two- and quasi-two dimensions are indicated by red triangles and blue circles, respectively. The zb are indicated by green stars. The dash lines represent the best power-law fits of corresponding cases. The inset is compensated z/Ra−0.30 as a function of Ra.
