Average (net) TiO₂ cluster growth and evaporation times for α = 1, T = 1000 K, and f_{tot, gas} = 10³ cm⁻³. pp: polymer–polymer; pm: polymer–monomer. Top: the values are evaluated until t_max = 4.12 × 10⁷ s, which corresponds to the J_N≥20 peak time for polymer–polymer cluster growth (see Fig. 6, bottom right). Bottom: the values are evaluated until different total run times t to capture the polymer–monomer peaks at t = 0.99 × 10⁹ s (see Fig. 6, bottom left).
