abstract = {Using lysozyme as a crystallization model, existing
intermediate clusters and aggregates have been previously
identified as fractal systems using light scattering
techniques. However, this has not been confirmed with
neutron or X-ray scattering directly. In this work, we
attempt to deepen our knowledge of the role of the fractal
clusters during the crystallization process by following the
evolution of the fractal dimension df from the early stage
of the nucleation process. Indeed, three different
scattering techniques have been used simultaneously on the
same sample: dynamic light scattering, small-angle neutron
scattering, and static light scattering. We focused on the
optimal batch crystallization condition in order to obtain
large crystals (30 mg/mL lysozyme concentration and 3 wt
$\%$ sodium chloride at pD 4.75 at 298 K). The selected
temperature reduces the nucleation speed allowing us to
investigate in detail the very early stage of the
crystallization process. A direct temporal change of the
fractal dimension df during the initial growth phase of
lysozyme was observed with df rising from 1.0 to 1.7 in the
first 90 min after initiating the crystallization process.
The early phase of crystallization shows remarkable
similarities to simulations on colloid aggregation.
Long-term dynamic light scattering measurements allowed us
to gain some insight into how fractal clusters may
contribute during the crystal growth process. These findings
help to improve theoretical models of crystal growth and may
lead to the growth of larger crystals through a better
understanding of the initial nucleation phase.},
