The derived energy difference between fcc and Dh minima. a Ratio of the Dh to fcc abundances (natural log plot) for Au561 plotted against the reciprocal of the temperature (in Kelvin). The dashed line shows a weighted least squares fit to the high-temperature region. The equation of this line is: y = mx + c where m = −510240 K and c = −0.20 ± 0.40 in units of kB. Error bars, derived from data in Fig. 2 and using error propagation laws, are shown for the natural log of the Dh:fcc ratio. b A schematic of the derived energy difference between fcc and Dh minima
