In Nucleation and Growth, the process by which most heterogeneous systems form, thermodynamics sets the asymptotic boundaries toward which the system must evolve, while kinetics tries to cope with it by imposing the transport rates. In all heterogeneous colloidal systems observed in nature, composition, shape, structure and physical properties result from the trade-off between thermodynamics and kinetics. Here we show, by carefully selecting colloidal systems and controlling phase separation in ...[more]
