The Aubry unpinned-pinned transition in the sliding of two incommensurate lattices occurs for increasing mutual interaction strength in one dimension and is of second order at T = 0, turning into a crossover at nonzero temperatures. Yet, real incommensurate lattices come into contact in two dimensions, at finite temperature, generally developing a mutual Novaco-McTague misalignment, conditions in which the existence of a sharp transition is not clear. Using a model inspired by colloid monolayers in an optical lattice as a test two-dimensional (2D) case, simulations show a sharp Aubry transition between an unpinned and a pinned phase as a function of corrugation. Unlike one dimension, the 2D transition is now of first order, and, importantly...
