25. Interestingly, this value is of the order of atomic distances. Note that in view of the fact that grain boundary energies are of the order of melting energies, this estimate also emphasizes the loss of order on a nanometer scale as met in amorphous materials.

27. Note that the given quantitative analysis is not exact as it is not based on an analysis of the chemical potentials of lithium, nor does it consider varied concentrations of coexistence.
