Does Abalone Nacre Form by Heteroepitaxial Nucleation or by Growth through Mineral Bridges
- T. Schäffer, C. Ionescu-Zanetti, P. Hansma
- Materials Science
- 14 August 1997
We present experimental support for a model of abalone nacre growth that is based on mineral bridges between successive aragonite tablets rather than on heteroepitaxial nucleation. Interlamellar…
