10. Note that in ref 3 when identifying pore sizes, we defined a pore to be the size of the solvent molecule if the density profile has one peak, the solvation force is zero (it is an unstressed state), and the slope of the solvation force is negative (it is a thermodynamically stable state). These conditions are met not at h/σ = 1.0 but rather at h/σ ≈ 1.75 (see Figure 1).
