Crystal growth at externally imposed nucleation clusters<br />
Idea: impose a cluster of fixed colloidal particles<br />
(e.g. by optical tweezer)<br />
Does this cluster act as a nucleation seed for further crystal<br />
growth?<br />
cf: homogeneous nucleation: the cluster occurs by thermal<br />
fl fluctuations, t ti here h we prescribe ib them th<br />
How does nucleation depend p on cluster size and shape? p<br />
