Structure of calcite and its high-pressure polymorphs. (a) CaCO3 stable up to 1.5 GPa (space group ). (b) CaCO3-II (P21/c), stable up to 2.1 GPa, is a subgroup of calcite space group (). (c) CaCO3-III () polymorph. Ca cations are represented by green spheres, while the CO3 planar groups are in orange. |
