Oriented Overgrowth of Pharmacolite (CaHAsO4·2H2O) on Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O)
TL;DR: In this article, an A-centered unit-cell setting for both pharmacolite (Aa) and gypsum (A2/a) was used to investigate the epitaxial relationship between two phases.

The role of amorphous precursors in the crystallization of La and Nd carbonates
Beatriz Vallina,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Andy Brown,J A Blanco,Liane G. Benning +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that spherulitic growth occurs due to a rapid breakdown of the amorphous precursors and a concurrent rapid increase in supersaturation levels in the aqueous solution.

Biomineralisation by earthworms – an investigation into the stability and distribution of amorphous calcium carbonate
Mark E. Hodson,Liane G. Benning,Liane G. Benning,Beatrice Demarchi,Kirsty Penkman,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Paul F. Schofield,Emma A. A. Versteegh,Emma A. A. Versteegh +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest a role for amino acids (or proteins) in this stability of amorphous calcium carbonate in earthworm CaCO3 granules, and see no evidence for stabilisation of ACC by incorporation of inorganic components.
Physicochemical and Additive Controls on the Multistep Precipitation Pathway of Gypsum
M. Ossorio,Tomasz M. Stawski,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Mike Sleutel,Juan Manuel García-Ruiz,Liane G. Benning,Liane G. Benning,Liane G. Benning,Alexander E. S. Van Driessche +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of supersaturation, temperature and additives (Mg2+ and citric acid) on the precipitation mechanism and rate of gypsum was investigated in a Synchrotron-based small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) setup.

Amorphous dysprosium carbonate: characterization, stability, and crystallization pathways
Beatriz Vallina,Beatriz Vallina,Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco,Andy Brown,Jesús A. Blanco,Liane G. Benning +5 more
TL;DR: The crystallization of amorphous dysprosium carbonate (ADC) has been studied in air (21−750 °C) and in solution (21 −250 °C), and its properties and crystallization pathways were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and magnetic techniques as mentioned in this paper.
