67. This cutoff was chosen inspired by Refs. 40 and 41. An alternative might have been the distance corresponding to the first or second minimum in g. These different options do not affect the location of ρt-max and ρt-min

70. lm is taken over the four nearest neighbors, quantifying a tetrahedral local order for the system. The orientational order parameter of this work is based on the idea of local order for each particle, similar to Refs. 8 and 13.
71. We have tested the use of a larger cutoff (5.5σ) and it does not affect the results.

74. This new peak may be interpreted as a signal of clustering. In order to check this, some snapshots for T* = 0.25 and the range of densities spanned by Fig. 5 were taken. These snapshots (not shown), even displaying a nonrandom distribution of particles, do not show clearly any clustering.
