Oxygen stoichiometry directs rutile-anatase phase selection through kinetic control of nucleation
Han Uk Lee, Hyeon Woo Kim, Ji Min Kim +3
Synthesis of a target polymorph remains more empirical than predictive because crystallization often selects the most accessible nucleation pathway rather than the thermodynamicall…

Precursor-Dependent Energetics as a Predictive Principle for Polymorph Selection in Thin Films
Hyeon Woo Kim, Han Uk Lee, Rohan Mishra +1
Vapor deposition allows for the synthesis of metastable polymorphs with unique properties, yet polymorph selection remains largely empirical due to the lack of predictive guideline…
