51. D)!) because exchanging all particles within their domains and between domains at constant energetic levels as formulated in Equation (12) already involves this entropic contribution.
52. [2-4] Hence the ensuing variations in substrate surface tension may be neglected in our analysis.

54. 0. However since q > 1 for the systems of practical interest the exact values of the lower limits of the q range are irrelevant to our analyses.
55. One possible approach to overcome the dual constraint between i) strong enthalpic interactions with the array lattice nodes and ii) weak enthalpic interactions between the elements of the array is to uncouple chemically both constraints. For example, the nanoparticles may be linked to the 2D surface through strong covalent bonds quantically uncoupled from the nanoparticles. See, e.g.: K. Bandyopadhyay, V. Patil, K. Vijayamohanan, M. Sastry, Langmuir 1997, 13, 5244-5248.
