Simulation of Structural Transformation in Aragonite CaCO3
The structural transformation in aragonite CaCO3 is simulated by molecular dynamics. The simulations are based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon-Kim modified electron gas formalism. We found two phase transitions in aragonite at high temperature.
متن کاملOvercoming the problems of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy of biogenic aragonite
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy of biogenic carbonate minerals is hampered by a lack of stability during exposure to the electron beam. However, aragonite in bivalve shells may be successfully imaged using a modification of the 'minimal-exposure technique' of Williams and Fisher (1970). Diffraction patterns taken before and after beam exposure indicate that the aragonite remain...
متن کاملAssignment of polarization-dependent peaks in carbon K-edge spectra from biogenic and geologic aragonite.
Many biominerals, including mollusk and echinoderm shells, avian eggshells, modern and fossil bacterial sediments, planktonic coccolithophores, and foraminifera, contain carbonates in the form of biogenic aragonite or calcite. Here we analyze biogenic and geologic aragonite using different kinds of surface- and bulk-sensitive X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the carb...

متن کاملConstraining initial Th activity in incrementally deposited, biogenic aragonite from the Bahamas
The Th content of subsurface Bahamas seawater has been estimated from incrementally deposited aragonite skeletons of sclerosponges using U-series age models which imply syndepositional incorporation of Th. First order age models, assuming constant growth rate and zero initial Th activity, display an average surface age of 63 ± 18 y despite the fact that the surfaces of the organisms were known ...
