Neutron diffraction of fully deuterated amorphous calcium phosphate (d-ACP)
Bone growth involves the formation of hydroxyapatite, HA, nanocrystals in the body. In vitro studies showed that HA does not precipitate directly, but that amorphous calcium... -
Unraveling the structural ordering of water in amorphous calcium carbonate (A...
Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...
