“…In the case of the presence of a DOF phase, it appears that faces can have a very high growth rate and still be macroscopically¯at. Experimental examples of such growth behaviour were found for the (011) face of naphthalene (Grimbergen, Reedijk et al, 1998), the (110) faces of orthorhombic n-paraf®ns (Grimbergen, van Hoof et al, 1998), the top faces of triacylglyceride (fat) crystals (Hollander et al, 1999) and the (110) faces of lysozyme . In this paper, it is shown that the BFDH and attachment-energy predictions are not generally applicable as the predictive value seems to be very poor even for many practical crystal graphs, when compared with the results of a complete connected-net analysis and MC simulation data.…”
