ACC and vaterite as metastable intermediates in the solution based crystallization of CaCO3
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite are not very common in abiotic systems, but they play a very significant role in biomineralization processes and are key in the global carbon cycle. Despite their importance, ... -
Citrate Effects on Amorphous Calcium Carbonate (ACC) Structure, Stability, and Crystallization
(2015)Understanding the role of citrate in the crystallization kinetics of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is essential to explain the formation mechanisms, stabilities, surface properties, and morphologies of CaCO3 biominerals. ... -
The effect of aspartic acid and glycine on amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) structure, stability and crystallization
(Elsevier, 2014)The effect of organic molecules on CaCO3 crystallization, in particular on the formation of the initial amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) phase, is poorly understood despite this knowledge being crucial for designing ... -
Neutron and X-ray diffraction and empirical potential structure refinement modelling of magnesium stabilised amorphous calcium carbonate
(2014)Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) plays a key role in biomineralisation processes in sea organisms. Neutron and X-ray diffraction have been performed for a sample of magnesium-stabilised ACC, which was prepared with a Mg:Ca ... -
A route for the direct crystallization of dolomite
(2015)The direct crystallization of dolomite from an aqueous solution at temperatures between 60–220 °C was followed in situ through time-resolved synchrotron-based energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction combined with offline ...
