5. Following common terminology in the literature, the term "nanocrystalline" is used throughout the text to characterize the type of nanocrystallized structure, which consists of nanocrystallites embedded in a residual amorphous matrix.

24. For a simple model of cubic-shaped crystallites, S is given by f × d/3 where f denotes the volume fraction of intergranular phase. The crystallite diameter d denotes the mean value determined from transmission electron microscopy (Ref. 12) rather than the volume-averaged value as determined by x-ray diffraction (Ref. 6).
