Crystal growth and dissolution of calcite in the presence of fluoride ions: An atomic force microscopy study

Growth and dissolution of calcite {1014} surfaces in aqueous solutions in the presence of fluoride ions have been studied by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). Supersaturated and undersaturated solutions with respect to calcite were prepared for the growth and dissolution experiments, respective...
