18. Some systems between 350 and 500 nm and between 258.5 and 260 K exhibit a microstructure like that of Fig. 7, even though other systems with similar thickness and temperature are of the kind of Fig. 7. One must assume that the two microstructures are close in energy and the transformation may or may not occur based on the details of the initial conditions.
19. In Figs. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15, we will plot the value of e2 in the active layer and that of e3 in the passive layer. White thus corresponds to e2 >0 in the active material and to e3 >0 in the passive material; black is e2 <0 in the active constituent and e3 <0 in the passive one.
