Crystallization seeds favour crystallization only during initial growth

Elshad Allahyarov, Hartmut L\"owen, Kirill Sandomirski, Stefan U. Egelhaaf

Crystallization seeds promote ordering only until a critical size, then detach and block nearby growth.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The crystallite first grows on the seed but then, on reaching a critical size, detaches from the seed. The detached and relaxed crystallite continues to grow, except close to the seed, which now prevents crystallization.

C2weakest assumption

That elastic distortions induced by lattice mismatch are the dominant reason for detachment and that no other surface or hydrodynamic effects intervene in the colloidal system.

C3one line summary

Crystallization seeds promote initial growth but then detach from the crystallite and act as impurities that suppress further ordering.
