Structural study of selenium(IV) substitutions in calcite

“…This combined theoretical and experimental approach has been already used in the past to gain information on the calcite bulk properties and to investigate the incorporation of contaminant traces into the calcite and other structures (Cuello et al, 2009;Fernandez-Martinez et al, 2008Roman-Ross et al, 2006). The use of neutron diffraction to study bulk properties of minerals is privileged over X-ray diffraction, as neutrons are capable of probing the bulk of materials due to their large penetration depths.…”
