摘要：

By switching between linear and circular polarization in the irradiation of supersaturated solutions of the amino acid glycine in water with intense nanosecond pulses of near-infrared laser light, we have obtained the gamma and alpha phases, respectively, through nonphotochemical light-induced nucleation (NPLIN). This is the first report of light polarization controlling crystal structure. The intensity dependence of NPLIN in aqueous urea is also reported.
