29. Strictly speaking, for these binaries, this temperature actually refers to the crystallization temperature of the eutectic composition (cf. ref. 25), but in view of the minute amounts of the additives in that composition, this is considered to be a semantic issue and, for the sake of simplicity, is ignored here.
