Volume and surface compressibility moduli calculated from the volume and area fluctuations of the simulations

Compressibility moduli 0% 5% 10% 15% 25% 40%
KV = VkBT/σV2 kbar 37 33 28 48 54
KA = AkBT/σA2 dyn/cm 275 110 780 300 950 490
KA* = AkBT/σA2 (drift subtracted) dyn/cm 730 1700 640 1900 1300

In the last line KA* is calculated from the area fluctuations obtained after the fitting and subtracting of a linear drift in time.
