Extended Data Fig. 6: The collective ordering process determined by the interface thickness.
a, The evolution of \({\overline{q}}_{6}\) for one particle layer with respect to time t (κσ ~ 2.0, T ~ 0.1Tm in simulations). The time period Δt (in between red lines) corresponds to a propagation length 4d of the growth front. b, The interface profile \({\overline{q}}_{6}(z)\) with respect to z/d at t (top) and t + Δt (bottom). The propagation length during Δt is illustrated by the distance between the two grey lines. c, The interface profile La(z) with respect to z/d at t (top) and t + Δt (bottom). It supports a collective crystal growth process with the crystal growth speed expressed as:v = l/Δt.
