Knowledge of the concentration of defects and molar disturbance enthalpies would permit calculation of the actual free energy of the solid, and also the chemical potential. These can be measured by using either solution calorimetry or differential scanning calorimetry. An example of the excess energy was given as 20-30 kj mol-i in mechanically activated quartz. Different types of reactions demand different defect types. For example, Boldyrev et al. [25] state a classification and provide examples for solid reactions with different mechanisms and necessary solid alterations. Often, reaction rates in solids depend strongly on the mass transport of matter. Lidi-ard [26] and Schmalzried [27] each provide reviews on transport properties in mechanically treated solids. The increased amount of defects allows a faster transport of ions and atoms in the solid structure. 

One generates several samples with different sets of parameters, and the set leading to the lowest value of F d) is the optimal one in accordance with the minimum free energy principle (see Eq. [10]). That set is then used in the production runs. In principle, one can estimate the correct F by importance sampling (as in Eq. [71]) however satisfactory results for F have already been obtained from Eq. [80]. This method was improved later by Meirovitch, who calculated the transition probabilities differently, by looking ahead as with the scanning method. Finally we point out that the transformation from an Ising... 

The calculation of this free energy (i.e., F R) is subject to instrumental errors that are discussed in detail elsewhere (Zach and Heuberger, 2000). Typical drift rates of the eSFA are 20 pm/min (Heuberger et al., 2001) and the cylinder radii, can be determined with <5% relative error using lateral scanning (Heuberger, 2001). In this work, the accuracy of F(D)IR was typically 0.1 mN/m. The error bars shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 5 correspond to this instrumental error. Errors due to variations in sample preparation are discussed in the text.
