Quantitative growth kinetics of the biomimetic self-assembly trajectories. a Plots of the domain area as a function of the growth time. These domains are highlighted in Fig. 2a, c, d and 2e; Supplementary Figs. 15, 24, 26 and 30. b Area ratio of the upper layer (N + 1) and the base layer (N) during the layer growth mode. Inset shows a constant area portion of ~2.2%. Error bars represent the standard deviations from an average of three samples. c Time evolution of film X-ray diffraction patterns showing the transition of crystalline phases in a 1 mg/mL C7P–BTBT film sample at room temperature (25 °C). Right inset: Magnified lattice evolutions of the decreasing peak at ~12.6° and two newly produced peaks at ~13.0°. Colour scales from blue (low intensity) to red (high intensity). d Peak intensity evolutions extracted from the peaks of ~12.6° and ~13.0°, which can be divided into three stages (Stage 1: light blue; Step 2: orange; Step 3: green)
