56. Note that the static properties of the dipolar system under study, including the equilibrium phase diagram, have been obtained applying different and more accurate approximations to the excess free-energy functional.

62. In particular, we chose s=60 for 31≤Γ≤35, s=7 for 37≤Γ<40, and s=5 for Γ40, in the DDFT, s=41 for Γ=33, s=21 for Γ=37, s=11 for 38≤Γ≤60, in the PFC1 model, and s=83 for Γ=37, s=41 for Γ=38, s=21 for Γ=39, and s=11 for 38≤Γ≤60 in the PFC2 model.

64. The discussion of the behavior of vf (t τB) in the DDFT and the PFC models is deferred to a future publication. For the same behavior in a similar model of hard spheres, see.
