Tailoring the Acidity of Liquid Media with Ionizing Radiation -- Rethinking the Acid-Base Correlation Beyond pH

Birk Fritsch, Andreas Körner, Thaïs Couasnon +6

Advanced in situ techniques based on electrons and X-rays are increasingly used to gain insights into fundamental materials dynamics in liquid media. Yet, ionizing radiation change…

Nucleation pathway of calcium sulfate hemihydrate (bassanite) from solution: implications for calcium sulfates on Mars

Tomasz M. Stawski, Rogier Besselink, Konstantinos Chatzipanagisad +3

CaSO4 minerals (i.e. gypsum, anhydrite and bassanite) are widespread in natural and industrial environments. During the last several years, a number of studies have revealed that n…

Mechanism of saponite crystallization from a rapidly formed amorphous intermediate

Rogier Besselink, Tomasz M. Stawski, Helen M. Freeman +3

Although clays are crucial mineral phases in Earth's weathering engine, it is unclear how they form in surface environments under (near-)ambient pressures and temperature. Most syn…

The structure of CaSO4 nanorods -- the precursor of gypsum

Tomasz M. Stawski, Alexander E. S. Van Driessche, Rogier Besselink +4

Understanding the gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) formation pathway from aqueous solution has been the subject of intensive research in the past years. This interest stems from the fact that g…

Particle-mediated nucleation pathways are imprinted in the internal structure of calcium sulfate single crystals

Tomasz M. Stawski, Helen M. Freeman, Alexander E. S. Van Driessche +4

Calcium sulfate minerals are found under the form of three crystalline phases: gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O), bassanite (CaSO4.0.5H2O), and anhydrite (CaSO4). Due to its relevance in natural…

>>On demand<< triggered crystallization of CaCO3 from solute precursor species

Tomasz M. Stawski, Teresa Roncal-Herrero, Alejandro Fernandez-Martinez +3

Can we control the crystallization of solid CaCO3 from supersaturated aqueous solutions and thus mimic a natural process predicted to occur in living organisms that produce biomine…

Formation of calcium sulfate through the aggregation of sub-3 nm anhydrous primary species

Tomasz M. Stawski, Alexander E. S. van Driessche, Mercedes Ossorio +2

The formation of crystalline calcium sulfate (CaSO4*xH2O) polymorphs from aqueous solutions is assumed to occur via a single-step process following the classical nucleation paradig…
