Figure 2. Liquid-drop/soft-ball fit.

Figure 2

(a) Reduced central lateral extension of Nc = 30 and Nc = 50 f = 60 SPB (circles) and the best fit combining the Inline graphic liquid-drop model at Inline graphic (blue line) with Inline graphic soft-ball model at Inline graphic (green line). (b) Liquid-drop Inline graphic for Inline graphic and 0.8 (blue lines) and the soft-ball Inline graphic for Inline graphic and 0.3 (green lines). The former does not reproduce the MD results at small Inline graphic  0.5 even if Inline graphic departs from the best-fit value of 0.6, and the latter predicts too small a central lateral extension in the small- and the intermediate-deformation regime irrespective of the value of Inline graphic. Each set of curves is faded at reduced slit widths where the respective model does not apply. The best-fit curves from panel a are replotted with thick lines.
