21. AA probe radius empirically. A radius much smaller than the equilibrium particle separation fails to form a shell. A radius much larger asymptotically becomes the convex hull. We found the intermediate value helpful to identify both atoms on the convex hull and atoms interior to but near the convex hull.
22. BB = 1.25 minimum seen in the CCDB also features a single type A atom in the outer shell.
