Derivation of an Accurate Force-Field for Simulating the Growth of Calcium Carbonate from Aqueous Solution: A New Model for the Calcite-Water Interface

The performance of existing force-field models for the calcium carbonate - water system has been critically assessed with particular reference to the thermodynamic consequences. It is demonstrated that all currently available parametrizations fail to describe the calcite-aragonite phase transition,...
