16. The number of energy categories is obtained by calculating all possible combinations using 2 first, 8 second, and 4 third nearest-neighbors. Restricting interactions to the (1 1 0) surface of PETN reduces the number of possible energy categories from 135 to 63. This reduction is because any molecule on this surface must have at least 4 neighbors in the plane below (2 second and 2 third nearest-neighbors).

21. Every time a step crosses the boundary, it enters back on the opposite site at a lower level in height enforcing the existence of a constant number of steps during the simulation. See G.H. Gilmer, P. Bennema, J. Appl. Phys. 43 (1972) 11347.
22. Kink formation energies were obtained as the difference between the number of bonds destroyed when removing a molecule from the edge of a step and the number of bonds created when placing the same molecule at a kink site divided by 2 (the number of kink sites created in the process).
23. e = - 44.85 kcal / mol (a PETN molecule with 1 first, 5 second, and 2 third nearest neighbors) for [over(1, -) 1 2]-steps, and - 47.90 kcal / mol (a PETN molecule with 2 first, 4 second, and 2 third nearest neighbors) for [over(1, -) 1 0]-steps.
