Synthesis Methods and Favorable Conditions for Spherical Vaterite Precipitation: A Review
Crystals, 2019 Vaterite is the least thermodynamically stable anhydrous calcium carbonate polymorph. Its existence is very rare in nature, e.g., in some rock formations or as a component of biominerals produced by some fishes, crustaceans, or birds.

Gilded Vaterite Optothermal Transport in a Bubble
Scientific Reports, 2023 Abstract Laser beams, capable to control the mechanical motion of micron-scale objects, can serve as a tool, enabling investigations of numerous interaction scenarios under full control. Beyond the pure electromagnetic interactions, giving rise to conventional gradient forces and radiation pressure, environment-induced thermal effects can play ...
