Structural Modifications of Single-Crystal Aragonite CaCO<sub>3</sub> Beginning at ~15 GPa: In Situ Vibrational Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction Evidence

The structural chemistry of carbonates under mantle conditions facilitates our understanding of carbon recycling pathways in the earth’s interior. It also has impacts on the dynamics of mantle–slab interactions. Aragonite is a common calcium carbonate mineral in pelagic marine sediments. The structu...
