Abstract
Crystallization from an amorphous precursor is an important pathway of carbonate precipitation in nature. However, the mechanistic details of the transformation from an amorphous phase to a crystalline phase of carbonates remain a topic of intense debate. Two competing mechanisms, including solid-state transition and coupled dissolution-reprecipitation, have been proposed to explain this transformation process. Magnesium is a common element in...
