Figure 5
Projections of Gibbs free energy maps for a nanoparticle containing 192 units of CaCO3. Top: nanoparticle in water. Bottom: nanoparticle with OC-17 bound in water. The OPs used for the axes measure symmetry in the arrangement of the C or O atoms about Ca ions. The letters label minima where local order is associated with a macroscopic polymorph: A is ACC; C is calcite; V is vaterite-like. Reproduced from Freeman et al.
