Data for Kinetic control of competing nuclei in a dimer lattice-gas model

Our model is tuned such that stable and metastable phases nucleate on a similar timescale. Either structure may nucleate first, with probability sensitive to dimer mobility. We calculate these nucleation rates via Forward-Flux Sampling and demonstrate how the resulting data can be used to infer the nucleation outcome and pathway.

Possibilities include direct nucleation of the stable phase, domination of long-lived metastable crystallites, and pathways in which the stable phase nucleates only after multiple post-critical nuclei of the metastable phase have appeared.<br><br>Data files and corresponding gnuplot script files (*.gnu) for each figure is available in the respective folders fig3-7. All plots were produced using GNUPLOT 5.2 patch level 2.
