Simulation of organic monolayers as templates for the nucleation of calcite crystals
Living organisms can control the size, shape, and structure of minerals. Attempts to reproduce this biological control in the laboratory often use Langmuir monolayers of long-chain carboxylic acids. We use large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the interfacial energies of calcite cr...
