Nanoscale anglesite growth on the celestite (001) face.
In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to study the growth behaviour of anglesite (PbSO4) monolayers on the celestite (001) face. Growth was promoted by exposing the celestite cleavage surfaces to aqueous solutions that were supersaturated with respect to anglesite. The solution supersaturat...
