6. Voxelization is the conversion of a continuous geometric object into a set of voxels which approximates the object. "Voxel" means "Volume element" or "Volume cell"; it is the 3D conceptual analogen of the 2D pixel.

17. In fact, this is only a first approximation. The topology of the system is most likely more complicated with additional layers of alkane molecules lying flat under or above the domains and on the substrate surface between the domains.
