Abstract
Atomistic simulation techniques based on the Born model of solids have been used to calculate the surface energies and to predict the equili brium morphology of calcite crystals. The influence of Mg2+, Li+ and H pO42- ion additives on the surface stability is reported. These result s can be used to infer the effect on nucleation, and on the growth mor phologies of calcite.
