a The diagrams of formation of monomers (I), nucleation (II), and growth of nanocrystal (III) versus the reaction time by FMBP. b The diagrams of formation of monomers (I), nucleation (II), and growth of nanocrystal (III) phases versus the reaction time by FBP. c The corresponding overall free energy change ((∆Gr) versus the nucleus size (r) via FMBP, and FBP strategies. d The effect of nucleation temperature on the nucleation rate (dNr/dt).
