Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important inorganic mineral in biological and geological systems. Traditionally, it is widely used in plastics, papermaking, ink, building materials, textiles, cosmetics, and food. Over the last decade, there has been rapid development in the controlled synthesis and surface modification of CaCO3, the stabilization of amorphous CaCO3 (ACC), and CaCO3-based nanostructured materials. In this review, the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 is first examined, including Ca2+-CO32- systems, solid-liquid-gas carbonation, water-in-oil reverse emulsions, and biomineralization. Advancing insights into the nucleation and crystallization of CaCO3 have led to the development of efficient routes towards the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 with specific sizes, morphologies, and polymorphs. Recently-developed surface modification methods of CaCO3 include organic and inorganic modifications, as well as intensified surface reactions. The resultant CaCO3 can then be further engineered via template-induced biomineralization and layer-by-layer assembly into porous, hollow, or core-shell organic-inorganic nanocomposites. The introduction of CaCO3 into nanostructured materials has led to a significant improvement in the mechanical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties of such materials, with the resultant CaCO3-based nanostructured materials showing great potential for use in biomaterials and biomedicine, environmental remediation, and energy production and storage. The influences that the preparation conditions and additives have on ACC preparation and stabilization are also discussed. Studies indicate that ACC can be used to construct environmentally-friendly hybrid films, supramolecular hydrogels, and drug vehicles. Finally, the existing challenges and future directions of the controlled synthesis and functionalization of CaCO3 and its expanding applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Elucidating the stable binding conformations of additives at the surface of CaCO3 crystals is essential to biomineralization, scale inhibition, and materials technology. However, accomplishing this by experimental means is rather difficult. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations based on a metadynamics approach were conducted to elucidate the stable binding conformations of a deprotonated polymaleic acid (PMA) additive and two deprotonated poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) additives with different polymerization degrees in the presence of various countercations at a hydrated calcite (104) surface. The simulated free-energy surfaces suggested the existence of several slightly different stable binding conformations for each additive. The appearance of these distinct binding conformations is speculated to originate from different balances of interactions between the additive, the calcite surface, and the countercations. The binding conformations and binding stabilities at the calcite surface were affected by the countercations, with Ca2+ ions producing a more pronounced effect than Na+ ions. Furthermore, the simulation results suggested that the binding stability at the calcite surface was higher for the PMA additive than for the PAA additives, and the PAA additive with a polymerization degree of 10 displayed a binding stability that was similar to or lower than that of the PAA additive with a polymerization degree of 5. The present simulation method provides a new strategy for analyzing the binding conformations of complex additives at material surfaces, developing additives that stably bind to these surfaces, and designing additives to control crystal growth.

Abstract
Melt crystallization is essential to many industrial processes, including semiconductor, ice, and food manufacturing. Nevertheless, our understanding of the melt crystallization mechanism remains poor. This is because the molecular-scale structures of melts are difficult to clarify experimentally. Computer simulations, such as molecular dynamics (MD), are often used to investigate melt structures. However, the time evolution of the structural order in a melt during crystallization must be analyzed properly. In this study, dimensional reduction (DR), which is an unsupervised machine learning technique, is used to evaluate the time evolution of structural order. The DR is performed for high-dimensional data representing an atom–atom pair distribution function and the distribution function of the angle formed by three nearest neighboring atoms at each period during crystallization, which are obtained by an MD simulation of a supercooled Lennard–Jones melt. The results indicate that crystallization occurs via the following activation processes: nucleation of a crystal with a distorted structure and reconstruction of the crystal to a more stable structure. The time evolution of the local structures during crystallization is also evaluated with this method. The present method can be applied to studies of the mechanism of crystallization from a disordered system for real materials, even for complicated multicomponent materials.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, this paper investigates the effect of biomolecules, such as amino acids and proteins, on the nanostructure and mechanical stiffness of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). Amino acids with distinct functional groups, and proteins with different structures and compositions were used in the synthesis of the C-S-H nanocomposite. The atomic structure was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM nanoindentation was used to evaluate the Young's modulus of the modified C-S-H. Positively charged, H-bond forming and hydrophobic amino acids were shown to influence the atomic structure of C-S-H. The effect of negatively charged amino acid on atomic structure was more pronounced at higher C/S ratio. A noticeable increase in silicate polymerization of C-S-H modified with proteins at high C/S ratio was observed. The microscopic examination demonstrated a globular morphology for all samples except for C-S-H modified with hemoglobin, which showed a platelet morphology. The Young's modulus of C-S-H with amino acids and proteins showed a general reduction compared to that of the control C-S-H.

Abstract
A new methodology for definitively evaluating the structural similarity between different phases in an impartial manner is proposed. This methodology utilizes a dimensionality reduction (DR) technique that was developed in the fields of machine learning and statistics. The basis of the proposed methodology is that the structural similarity between different phases can be evaluated by the geometrical similarity of pair and/or angular distribution functions that reflect the atomic-scale structure of each phase. The DR technique is used for the analysis of this geometrical similarity. In this study, the proposed methodology is applied to evaluate the similarity in the atomic-scale structure, as obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, between amorphous CaCO3 and CaCO3 crystal phases in the presence or absence of additives, namely, Mg2+ ions, Sr2+ ions, and water molecules. The results indicate that in the absence of additives, the structure of the amorphous phase is closer to that of vaterite than to those of calcite or aragonite. However, the degree of structural similarity between the amorphous phase and vaterite decreases if Mg2+ ions are present. This tendency is also evident when Sr2+ ions are present, although these ions do not influence the structure of the amorphous phase as strongly as Mg2+ ions. In addition, the results indicate that at a high water concentration, the amorphous phase is separated into small particles by hydrogen-bonded networks of water molecules and the structure of the amorphous phase more closely approaches that of vaterite. The proposed methodology is widely applicable to the evaluation of the structural similarity between different phases for complex multicomponent systems.

Abstract
As crystallization processes are often rapid, it can be difficult to monitor their growth mechanisms. In this study, we made use of the fact that crystallization proceeds more slowly in small volumes than in bulk solution to investigate the effects of the soluble additives Mg2+ and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) on the early stages of growth of calcite crystals. Using a “Crystal Hotel” microfluidic device to provide well‐defined, nanoliter volumes, we observed that calcite crystals form via an amorphous precursor phase. Surprisingly, the first calcite crystals formed are perfect rhombohedra, and the soluble additives have no influence on the morphology until the crystals reach sizes of 0.1–0.5 μm for Mg2+ and 1–2 μm for PSS. The crystals then continue to grow to develop morphologies characteristic of these additives. These results can be rationalized by considering additive binding to kink sites, which is consistent with crystal growth by a classical mechanism.
