Randomized trial demonstrates crystal growth mechanisms in multidomain structures, suggesting new insights into crystal formation.

This research aims to unveil the mechanisms behind the growth of crystals and their unique morphologies.
Utilized correlative atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to study crystal growth.
Investigated the attachment of amorphous particles to metal-organic framework surfaces.
Analyzed growth rates at different crystal regions leading to multidomain structures.
The crystal edges show faster attachment rates, while centers grow slowly, creating unique morphologies.
Multidomain appearance originates from varying growth rates within the crystal.
Nickel-based MOF exhibits an unexpected single crystallinity despite its complex structure.

Nasi et al. (2026) studied this question.
