Study in Calcium Carbonate Crystal Formation at the Air/Water Interface in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

摘要

Calcium carbonate aggregates as calcite on the surface of a Ca(OH)2 solution exposed to air. We grew these crystals on solution of initial concentration 0.30 mg/L. Our studies show static magnetic field to have no effect on the fractal dimension of these crystals. Fields up to 10 kG parallel to the interface, 2 kG perpendicular to the interface, as well as high gradient were examined. For all conditions fractal dimension was Df = 1.61 t 0.05.
