Figure 8
1D WAXS profiles of CaCO3 particles obtained during the flow experiment at 9 mM concentration. Top panel: particles with water in the capillary (grey line) and after subtraction of the water capillary at different times showing the increase in the peak intensities of the vaterite particles (for clarity, the intensity of the WAXS data after subtraction of the background has been multiplied by a factor 105). Bottom panel: powder coming from the drying of the aliquot after centrifugation (circles are the observed data, the line is the calculated data using the MAUD software). In the C2/c space group, the first three intense peaks correspond to superimposed reflections with Miller indices 002 & 12, 11 & 002 & 12, and 400 & 22 & 13, located at 17.73, 19.23 and 23.19 nm−1, respectively. |
