FIGURE 7.
The dependence of the total area of nanodomains of radius rmin (curve A1) and the area of a large domain (curve A2) on line tension γ. The vertical dotted lines separate region γ < γmin (A), where only nanodomains exist, from region γmin < γ < γmax (B), where nanodomains maintain quasi-equilibrium with one large domain (i.e., a global phase), and region B from region γ > γmax (C), where one large domain is energetically favorable, and thus nanodomains are not present.
