17. c/2 Eq. (8) is undefined, indicating that at large misfits the picture of large commensurate regions near an A-B interface is inadequate.
18. At the level of mean field theory presented here, the topological transformation between these structures cannot be determined.
19. Of course, it is always possible that the domain size is limited by dynamics and does not reach its equilibrium value. In that case the measurement is actually related to the average distance between nucleation centers of A regions. However, since the equilibrium size decreases with ψ (Fig. 3) we expect our predictions to hold for small enough ψ.
