Epitaxial Growth and Frictional Response of Otavite and Spherocobaltite on Dolomite (10.4) Surfaces

of otavite (CdCO3) and spherocobaltite (CoCO3) has been promoted on dolomite (10.4) surfaces at room temperature
by immersing cleaved dolomite crystals in highly supersaturated solutions
with respect to those phases. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM)
observations show that otavite and spherocobaltite overgrow preferentially
on dolomite step edges and (10.4) terraces by two-dimensional nucleation.
High-resolution friction AFM images reveal the parallelism between
the lattices of the overgrowths and the substrate, demonstrating that
the growth of otavite and spherocobaltite on dolomite (10.4) surfaces
is epitaxial. Similar values of lattice parameters measured on high-resolution
friction images of substrates and overgrowths indicate the accommodation
of the otavite and spherocobaltite (10.4) surface lattices to the
dolomite substrate structure. The frictional response of otavite and
spherocobaltite overgrowth surfaces resulted to be significantly higher
than that of dolomite. These differences in frictional response can
be attributed to the strain generated by the misfits between dolomite
substrates and the overgrowths.
