Figure 6: Relationship between nucleation properties and the local polydispersity pi(r).
From: Measuring the size of individual particles from three-dimensional imaging experiments
(a) The contour plot of the mean pi(r) as a function of r and t, averaged over all particles that are crystalline at t=5,000 s. The numbers on the contour lines represent the value of pi(r). (b) The contour plot of the mean pi(r) as a function of r and t, averaged over all particles that are non-crystalline at t=5,000 s. The particles considered in (a) and (b) are only those with radii close to the mean radii; see text for details. (c) The number of ordered neighbours No as a function of time for those particles plotted in (a) (nucleus particles, solid curve) and (b) (non-nucleus particles, dashed curve).
