8. Nucleation of the β phase at the pore surface implies that the free energy of the pore wall-α phase interface is greater than or equal to the sum of the free energies of the pore wall-β phase and αβ interfaces.
9. β→r. As a result, the general inequality described in the previous reference is only satisfied as an equality.
