Extended Data Fig. 5 | Energetics and spatial correlations at play in the
inverse transition. a, Evolution with temperature of dipole–dipole energy
density upon heating the ground-state parallel-stripe domain pattern (1) and
the labyrinthine domain pattern (2). These two curves meet above 200 K, the
temperature at which the inverse transition occurs. The third curve (3)
corresponds to what would have been the dipole–dipole energy of domain
walls if the labyrinthine domain walls would have gradually wiggled with no
reordering of the stripes (fictive labyrinthine evolution). b, Evolution with
temperature of the typical size of locally ordered ground-state tiles composing
the labyrinthine domain pattern. Data were obtained via the analysis of
structure factors of square patches of varying size at each temperature.
Specifically, at each temperature, ξ corresponds to the maximal patch size
featuring two-peaked structure factor. Solid line is a guide for the eyes.
