Previous studies had hypothesized that minor components could either help or hinder the crystallization process, by creating or blocking sites for crystal growth.

之前已有研究猜测，微量组分可以产生或堵塞晶体生长的位点，从而促进或阻碍结晶过程。

But the researchers in this study wanted to see if adding particular minor components in the right amounts could promote Form V crystal production.

但从事这项研究的人员想知道，加入某种适量的微量组分能否提高形态5晶体的产量。
