The crystallization of a material whose dipole moment displays maximal alignment with an applied static electric field has also been observed in the case of paracetamol 28 and ice . In the case of paracetamol, it was observed that 1.5 V/nm static electric fields applied during nanocrystal growth from aqueous solution induced the formation of a new polymorph of paracetamol, where the dipole vectors of paracetamol molecules in the new solid-state form displayed maximal alignment with the applied electric field vector , which is an equivalent finding to the results stated herein. In the case of ice, it was found that the application of an electric field resulted in the exclusive formation of ice Ic, a well-known metastable form of ice predicted to be kinetically competitive during nucleation by MD in the absence of field effects . This phenomenon is consistent with the observations in this work as well, as the chair conformation in cubic ice allowed for near perfect alignment with the applied field. Furthermore, ice crystals were grown from solution, allowing the cubic ice crystal to grow at a maximally aligned orientation with the field along the nucleation pathway. This shows that one of the already known low energy metastable ice structures is able to optimally align with a static field such that the formation of a new material is unnecessary. For the polymorphs of glycine however, as well as the polymorphs of paracetamol, the embedded 𝛼-, 𝛽-, and 𝛾-glycine nanocrystals show near zero alignment on average (figure shown for the case of the initially 𝛼-, 𝛽-, and 𝛾-glycine nanocrystals in figure . As the nanocrystals obtained from the bulk structures were speherical, the initial value of 𝑆 was above 0.95 for all initial nanocrystals (data not shown). The 𝑆 at the conclusion of simulations is observed to be a decreasing function with increasing electric field intensity for all initial polymorphic forms, showing that the electric field vector can control the morphology of nanocrystals in addition to the polymorphic form and crystallization kinetics. However, 𝑆 appears to be impacted little by increasing the electric field intensity past 0.4 V/nm. In the absence of the applied electric field, 𝛼and 𝛽-glycine nanocrystals dissolve along a spherical dissolution mechanism, where with the final 𝑆 after 4.2 ns of simulation is 𝑆=0.78 and 𝑆=0.76 respectively. To the contrary, 𝛾-glycine dissolves along a non spherical dissolution mechanism, in the absence of the field, with the final value being only 𝑆=0.48, a 38% decrease in sphericity relative to the no field 𝛼and 𝛽-glycine nanocrystals. For all systems, 𝑆 obtains a final value of approximately 0.4 during the 0.6
