Calcium Carbonate Polyamorphism and Its Role in Biomineralization: How Many Amorphous Calcium Carbonates Are There?

Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Antonio G. Checa, Julian D. Gale +2

Although the polymorphism of calcium carbonate is well known, and its polymorphs-calcite, aragonite, and vaterite-have been highly studied in the context of biomineralization, poly…

Ice polyamorphism in the minimal Mercedes-Benz model of water

Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Oreste Piro, Pedro A. Sánchez +1

We investigate ice polyamorphism in the context of the two-dimensional Mercedes-Benz model of water. We find a first-order phase transition between a crystalline phase and a high-d…

Crystal growth as an excitable medium

Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Antonio G. Checa, Bruno Escribano +1

Crystal growth has been widely studied for many years, and, since the pioneering work of Burton, Cabrera and Frank, spirals and target patterns on the crystal surface have been und…

Beyond crystals: the dialectic of materials and information

Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Alan L. Mackay

We argue for a convergence of crystallography, materials science and biology, that will come about through asking materials questions about biology and biological questions about m…

Ice structures, patterns, and processes: A view across the ice-fields

Thorsten Bartels-Rausch, Vance Bergeron, Julyan H. E. Cartwright +14

We look ahead from the frontiers of research on ice dynamics in its broadest sense; on the structures of ice, the patterns or morphologies it may assume, and the physical and chemi…
