Title: Growth of vaterite and calcite crystals in gels
Abstract: Crystals of vaterite and calcite have been simultaneously grown in sodium metasilicate-acetic acid gels. The crystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The growth ratios of vaterite and calcite are functions of gel pH values. Vaterite crystal growth is favored at a pH value of 4.7 and lower and calcite above this value.
