On the crystal growth of nanoscale schwertmannite

Schwertmannite (Fe16O16(OH)12(SO4)2), commonly found in acidic aqueous systems, forms rapidly into a “hedge-hog” morphology, where nano-dimension whiskers project outwards from an electron-dense interior. Schwertmannite whiskers were recently found to contain the highly disordered and maghemite-like...
