Rates and mechanisms of calcite growth and its inhibition by strontium

In this work, calcite (calcium carbonate) growth is examined from computational, experimental and theoretical perspectives, specifically molecular dynamics rare event theory simulations and in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). Simulations of attachment and detachment of ions to steps reveal a comp...
