14. At high growth temperatures, entropy increases the adatom concentration and can modify the exact position of the phase boundaries. However, we expect that in the experimentally relevant temperature range the topology of the phase diagram will not be affected by the entropy. Note that, following different arguments, similar conclusions have been reached by S. R. Williams (private communication).
