Synthetic calcite single crystals, due to their strong crystal habit, tend to grow into
characteristic rhombohedra. In the nature, biogenic calcite crystals form composites together …

As crystallization processes are often rapid, it can be difficult to monitor their growth
mechanisms. In this study, we made use of the fact that crystallization proceeds more slowly …

The shapes of biologically formed calcite crystals are extremely versatile. Numerous studies
have addressed the possible biological mechanism of crystal shape regulation. Synthetic …

Synthetic and biogenic calcite (CaCO3) crystals are known to incorporate
biomacromolecules [1] and other organic molecules [2] while still diffracting x-rays as single …

A hierarchical self-similar structure of oriented calcite with association of an agar gel matrix :
inheritance of crystal habit from nanoscale - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) …

The growth of calcium carbonate crystals under Langmuir monolayers was investigated in
the presence of chitosan, a soluble derivative of chitin added to the subphase to better …

Though calcium carbonate crystals with various morphologies have been successfully
fabricated via bioinspired methods, the mechanism underlying crystallization of one …

Biomineralization is believed to be achieved by the intimate cooperation of soluble
macromolecules and an insoluble matrix at the specific inorganic–organic interface. It has …

This review focuses on the effect of water on the binding conformation of an organic
molecule at a hydrated calcite crystal surface. A recent molecular dynamics simulation …

The formation of single-crystalline configurations by the oriented attachment of calcite was
experimentally demonstrated as 3D bundles in a nonaqueous system. In the initial stage, 1D …
