1. If not, it would be necessary to calculate the evolution rate of the atom pairs according to the value of φ and then sum over the pairs in order to get K(x).
2. This relation is not valid for [formula omitted]: This case involves jumps from one side of a grain boundary to the other, jumps which must also be taken into account.
3. The relation (8) is obtained neglecting [formula omitted] with respect to 1 for [formula omitted] and with respect to [formula omitted] for [formula omitted] because [formula omitted] is plainly greater than 1.
4. By changing the integration variable, [formula omitted] may be written [formula omitted].
5. The torque magnetometer was mounted in a vertical quartz tube (length 20 cm, diameter 3 cm) with a flat bottom. The furnace, closed at one end, enveloped the tube along its whole length. During the anneals, a special device allowed us to lay the film on the tube bottom and the temperature of the tube bottom was measured.
6. The mean grain diameter Φ, measured on the slides, is taken as [formula omitted] time the mean length of the segments cut out on a straight line by the grain boundaries.
