Dependence of the strength on the number of bonds in the cluster, for varied bond energies Eb. The strength increase as N ≤ Ncr, where N is number of bonds. Chia-Ching Chou, and Markus J. Buehler Interface Focus doi: /rsfs ©2011 by The Royal Society
Cooperativity index Ncr as a function of Eb, L0 and ξp.We plot the cooperativity index Ncr as a function of Eb and L0 (a,b), Eb and ξp (c,d), L0 and ξp (e,f) for fixed ξp, L0 and Eb, respectively. Chia-Ching Chou, and Markus J. Buehler Interface Focus doi: /rsfs ©2011 by The Royal Society
