In situ observation of coalescence of nuclei in colloidal crystal-crystal transitions

Abstract Coalescence of nuclei in phase transitions significantly influences the transition rate and the properties of product materials, but these processes occur rapidly and are difficult to observe at the microscopic scale. Here, we directly image the coalescence of nuclei with single particle re...
