Abstract
. When a crystal tumbles in a container, a space repeatedly forms between the crystal and the container wall that hosts the FI. Tumbling changes the surface energy repeatedly and promotes the conversion of the FI into a new epitaxial layer. We anticipate that this surface catalysis mechanism found on the nanoscale also operates in bulk heterogeneous nucleation where agitation and attrition accelerate crystallization.
