Mechanistic Principles of Barite Formation: From Nanoparticles to Micron-Sized Crystals

This study reports on the early stages of barite (BaSO4) precipitation from aqueous solution. TEM observations indicate that BaSO4 is formed by two levels of oriented aggregation of nanosized solid particles (nonclassical crystallization pathways). Oriented alignment of nanoparticles within micron-s...
