Temperature oscillation modulated self-assembly of periodic concentric layered magnesium carbonate microparticles.
Intriguing patterns of periodic, concentric, layered, mineral microstructure are present in nature and organisms, yet they have elusive geneses. We hypothesize temperature oscillation can be an independent factor that causes the self-assembly of such patterns in mineral phases synthesized in solutio...
