10. Instead of the terms "flux tubes" or "flux spots" found in the literature dedicated to IS studies, we here adopt the conventional designation used for pattern studies.

24. For Hg we take Δ(0) equal to 0.084 μm, i.e., 3 times smaller than the value proposed in Ref. [15]. The over-estimation of Δ(0) in Ref. [15] results from the use of an approximate model to calculate the magnetic energy.
