	rutile
		Rutile is not overly abundant, but it is fairly widespread.
		All of this indicates a rate law based on slow nucleation and rapid growth, as well as the principle that the atomic mechanism is not modified by particle size or temperature despite the rapid kinetics in finely crystalline aggregates.
		Since the anatase and rutile structures have no polymerized octahedral fragments in common, this could possibly be significant in determining the nature of the nucleated phase.
