32. rmin corresponds to the distance, where force becomes zero. It is related to σ as rmin = 21/6 σ. From Table 1, σ=3.573 for C-Ar and hence rmin =4.01.
33. Equilibration of a 60+7 bundle at ambient pressure resulted in an increase in volume justifying this argument.

36. Diffraction pattern is from carbon alone. Effect of argon lattice is removed by setting argon form factors to be zero.
