Darkins, R., Cote, A.S., Freeman, C.L. et al. (1 more author) (2013) Crystallisation rates of calcite from an amorphous precursor in confinement. Journal of Crystal Growth, 367. 110 - 114. ISSN 0022-0248
Abstract
Using molecular dynamics, we simulate the crystallisation of calcite from an amorphous calcium carbonate precursor within the confines of a cylindrical potential. The crystallisation rates of various low-index calcite surfaces are measured. A notable inhibition in the growth of the (00.1) surface is observed and a mechanism relating to the rotation of the carbonate ions is proposed to explain it.
