In this Article, in the ‘Calculation of system free energy’ section of the Methods, there were omissions in equation (7). The equation should read:
“Or, if K11 < K33,
Or, if K11 > K33,\({F}_{{\rm{f}}}={\rm{\pi }}{K}_{11}\left[2+\frac{k}{\sqrt{1-k}}{\tanh }^{-1}\sqrt{1-k}-\frac{k}{\sqrt{1-k}}{\tanh }^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-k}}{\sigma }\right)-\frac{{K}_{24}}{{K}_{11}}\right]\,L+\gamma 2{\rm{\pi }}rL\) (7)”
instead of:
“Or, if K11 < K33,
Or, if K11 > K33:
\({F}_{{\rm{f}}}={\rm{\pi }}{K}_{11}\left[2+\frac{k}{\sqrt{1-k}}{\tanh }^{-1}\sqrt{1-k}-\frac{k}{\sqrt{1-k}}{\tanh }^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-k}}{\sigma }\right)-\frac{{K}_{24}}{{K}_{11}}\right]\,\) (7)”
All calculations and conclusions presented in the Article were carried out using the correct equations and are unaffected by these changes. The original Article has been corrected online.
