28. 12)/2 is incorrect. In the numerical calculations, the authors used material constants involved in the expansion of the Gibbs energy, whereas the theory developed in Ref. 16 is based on the Helmholtz free-energy expansion. It should be also noted that the relations (5.12) and (5.13) between the dielectric stiffness coefficients, which ensure the validity of Eq. (5.15a) in Ref. 16, are not fulfilled for PT and BT so that this formula gives only a rough estimate of the wall width.
