In the above article, due to a systematic error in analysing the thickness of the fracture, property values were calculated using half the actual value of w. Thus, the y-axis values in Fig. 4b will be twice as large. Consequently, in Table 1 and Fig. 6, the values for the stress intensity K_I will be doubled and the fracture energy values γ_s are four times larger due to the relation with K_I. This does not change the qualitative behaviour of these results described in the paper or the overall conclusions of the paper.
