Friction characteristics of Cd-rich carbonate films on calcite surfaces: implications for compositional differentiation at the nanometer scale

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) studies were carried out on cleaved calcite sections in contact with solutions supersaturated with respect to otavite (CdCO<sub>3</sub>) or calcite-otavite solid solutions (SS) as a means to examine the potential for fut...
