19. The nucleation barrier is determined by the highest-energy metastable intermediate structure, and does not include the activation barrier of transition state, which by itself is high (5-9 eV, depending on degree of local strain in the lattice) for each SW step, since it involves rearrangement of two carbon bonds. However, this activation barrier can be in principle reduced by catalyst (Ref. 22) or overcome by light or electron-beam radiation (Ref. 8). In contrast, the energy points discussed here correspond to chemically inert structures and cannot be reduced by similar factors.
