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…

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…
