Repeat the animation. |
| With a medium interaction strength and a sufficiently high kinesin concentration c, the decoration will start at many sites simultaneously. The boundaries between the domains that grew from different nuclei will heal in a slow annealing process. |
2. Single-site nucleation |
|---|
Repeat the animation. |
| With a stronger interaction and a solution concentration close to the phase transition, it takes a longer time to form a stable nucleus than for this nucleus to cover the whole lattice. Therefore, the lattice will most probably be covered starting from a single nucleus and therefore free of defects. |
