Atomistic models of carbonate minerals: bulk and surface structures, defects, and diffusion

We review the use of interatomic potentials to describe the bulk and surface behavior of carbonate materials. Interatomic pair potentials, describing the Ca2+-O interactions and the C-O bonding of the CO22 anion group, are used to evaluate the lattice, elastic, dielectric, and vibrational data for c...
