Figure 3. Chiral vaterite toroid formation at different pH.

Figure 3

SEM images of vaterite toroids formed in the presence of D-Asp in different pH solutions (ad; pH=6.46 for 10 d, pH=7.00 for 7 d, pH=9.00 for 3 d and pH=12.40 for 6 h, respectively), with all showing the same clockwise spiral growth direction (yellow arrows). Scale bars, 6 μm (ac) and 2 μm (d).
