[a] This paper fallows the convention of Matthews [4] by calculating the misfit as (difference in lattice constant)/(film lattice constant). [reference in text]
[b] The term "pseudomorphic" seems a stretch in this situation, perhaps a term like "pseudometric" mightbe appropriate. [reference in text]
