As nuclei grow, changes in the defect structure become too costly relative to the available thermal energy and they become stuck in a given morphology. As illustrated by Figure 2, this process results in a Boltzmann-like distribution of multiply twinned, singly twinned, and single-crystal seeds, with the 5-fold twinned decahedron being the lowest in free energy and thus the most abundant morphology.(12)
