40. The semigrand ensemble simulations used to compute the Laplace pressure does not work for the metastable solid phase. Under these conditions, the simulations always result in a composition corresponding to that of B-rich solid phase. The value of γ given in Table is calculated assuming Laplace pressure is equal to 0.68.
