The designed crystals were enclosed by singular faces and thus provided surface conditions for ordinary layer-by-layer growth, however, thin surface layers grew from crystal edges or concave angles to repair the crystals to convex polyhedrons. It is assumed that the incomplete crystal possesses a "potential of morphology repair", which drives the thin surface layer growth. Volume54, Issue8August 20191970024 RelatedInformation
