Interactions between organophosphonate-bearing solutions and (1014) calcite surfaces: An atomic force microscopy and first-principles molecular dynamics study

The dissolution of (1014) calcite surfaces was investigated in the presence of 1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid) (HEDP) (0-10 mM) at pH=8 using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). The presence of the organophosphonate resulted in a change in the appearance of the dissolution features fr...
