Selenium incorporation into calcite and its effect on crystal growth: An atomic force microscopy study

The atomic processes leading to calcite growth are still debated. The presence of foreign impurities in solution is known to change the rate of step propagation during growth as well as the growth mechanism. Among trace elements, selenium, in the form of oxyanions, can incorporate into the calcite s...
