The influence of pH on barite nucleation and growth

Nanoscale Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) experiments show that barite (BaSO4) growth is influenced by the pH of the growth solution. AFM observations provide evidence that growth and nucleation rates measured along the [100] crystallographic direction on the initial layer grown on barite (001) natura...
