Dynamic force spectroscopy for quantifying single-molecule organo–mineral interactions
Hang Zhai, Wenjun Zhang, Lijun Wang, Christine V. Putnis
Abstract
Organo–mineral interactions have long been the focus in the fields of biomineralization and geomineralization, since such interactions not only modulate the dynamics of crystal nucleation and growth but may also change crystal phases, morphologies, and structures.
