Uncovering the Atomistic Mechanism for Calcite Step Growth.

Determining a complete atomic-level picture of how minerals grow from aqueous solution remains a challenge as macroscopic rates can be a convolution of many reactions. For the case of calcite (CaCO3 ) in water, computer simulations have been used to map the complex thermodynamic landscape leading to...
