A team at New York University have revealed the importance of chemical interactions at the nucleation surface compared with the periodic surface potential associated with epitaxy in controlling polymorphism through epitaxial relationships with crystalline substrates. In this communication, Brian Olmsted and Michael Ward test the effectiveness of GRACE (Geometric Real-space Analysis of Crystal Epitaxy) software in predicting cases of epitaxially directed nucleation by performing a combinatorial crystallization study involving crystalline substrates and polymorphic compounds.
