14. Because of the small difference in stacking fault energy [V. Ozolins (private communication)], it is also possible to have fcc islands in an hcp sea. For the sake of clarity, we will discuss only one configuration.

16. We compare these two systems because they have been thoroughly studied and because they have roughly the same percentage misfit, albeit with different signs.
17. This assumption is based on the postulate of the geometric mean for bond strengths, as described in L. Pauling, The Nature of the Chemical Bond (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1960), 3rd ed. It is also consistent with the thermal desorption temperatures for Ag and Cu from Ru(0001).
