Despite its thermodynamical metastability at near-surface conditions, aragonite is widespread in marine and terrestrial sediments. It abundantly forms in living organisms, and its abiotic formation is favored in waters of a Mg2+/Ca2+ratio > 1.5. Here, we provide crystallographic evidence of a nanocrystalline CaCO3polymorph, which precipitates before aragonite in a cave. The new phase, which we term monoclinic aragonite (mAra), is crystallographically related to ordinary, orthorhombic aragonite. Electron diffraction tomography combined with structure determination demonstrates that mAra has a layered aragonite structure, in which some carbonates can be replaced by hydroxyls and up to 10 atomic % of Mg can be incorporated. The diagnostic electron diffraction features of mAra are diffuse scattering and satellite reflections along aragonite {110}. Similar features have previously been reported—although unrecognized—from biogenic aragonite formed in stromatolites, mollusks, and cyanobacteria as well as from synthetic material. We propose that mAra is a widespread crystalline CaCO3that plays a hitherto unrecognized key role in metastable aragonite formation.

The crystal structure of the U(iv)-phosphate mineral vyacheslavite has been solved from precession electron diffraction tomography (PEDT) data from the natural nano-crystal and further refined using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The development of a proper refinement algorithm that takes into account dynamical scattering guarantees, for electron crystallography, results approaching X-rays in terms of precision, accuracy and reliability. The combination of such dynamical refinement and electron diffraction tomography establishes a complete pathway for the structure characterization of single sub-micrometric crystals.

Planar defects in Pd nanoparticle superlattices were revealed by a combination of real and reciprocal space transmission electron microscopy techniques. 3D electron diffraction tomography was extended to characterize mesoscale imperfections.
