53. A more ambitious study should use the method of M. Parrinello and A. Rahman, J. Appl. Phys. 52, 7182 (1981), where arbitrary triclinic simulation boxes and shear deformations of the box are considered. Since this would require considerable computational effort for our model, we did not try such a simulation.
