11. All the dimensions of our system have been carefully chosen to avoid overlap of density profile structure from different regions of the system. Even at a bulk density of η=0.47, much closer to solvent crystallization, the density profile of hard-sphere fluid at a hard wall has decayed to bulk fluid at a distance of 5σ from the wall; see, e.g., J.R.
