  <dc:description>We used molecular dynamics simulations to predict the steady state crystal shape of naphthalene grown from ethanol solution. The simulations were performed at constant supersaturation by utilizing a recently proposed algorithm [Perego et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2015, 142, 144113]. To bring the crystal growth within the timescale of a molecular dynamics simulation we applied well-tempered Metadynamics with a spatially constrained collective variable, which focuses the sampling on the growing layer. We estimated that the resulting steady state crystal shape corresponds to a rhombic prism, which is in line with experiments. Further, we observed that at the investigated supersaturations, the {00-1} face grows in a two step two dimensional nucleation mechanism while the considerably faster growing faces {1-10} and {20-1} grow new layers with a one step two dimensional nucleation mechanism.</dc:description>
