26. i and N the total number of area sections, was determined by particle counting in defectfree regions of the microstructure (i.e., by analysis of micrographs such as Figure 1). Note that in Figure 5b the particle density in the negative-x direction levels off at values close to the equilibrium particle density at distances of about 400 nm from the junction. A qualitatively similar behavior is found in the positive-x direction, however, with some discrepancy that is attributed to insufficient area sampling.
