25. At low temperatures, such as the temperatures studied in this paper, this definition is practically equivalent to the Hill definition adopted in first paper of Ref. [14].
26. The potential V (r ), Eq. (1), essentially coincides with a Lennard-Jones interaction plus a repulsive Yukawa potential ε [ A 1 (σ r ) 36 - A 2 (σ r ) 6 + a e - r / ξ r σ ], with A 1 = 3.56, A 2 = 7.67, a = 36.79 and ξ = 0.49 σ.

29. The system presents a transition to a tubular or lamellar phase [24] at increasing volume fraction. In particular we find that some configurations at φ ≥ 0.19 are in such a phase. The data here presented are limited to configurations where no ordered phase is observed.
