Crystal nucleation and growth, as quantified by the evolution of the HCP, $S^{HCP},$ and FCC, $S^{FCC}, \mathrm{order}\mathrm{parameters}$ ((left) y-axis), and fraction of fivefold-like sites, $S^{F\mathit{I}V}$ ((right) y-axis), as a function of MC steps for 100-chains N_av = 12 systems of freely-jointed chains and semi-flexible chains with bending constant $k_{\theta }=9$ and equilibrium bending angle ${\theta }_0=$ 0, 60, 90, 108, and 120° at a packing density $\phi =0.59$.
