Fig. 4: Prenucleation stages in portlandite and gypsum nucleation.

PDF patterns of the prenucleation stages from co-titrations in the portlandite (a) and gypsum (b) system. These are compared to the PDF of a single titration of CaCl2 and the PDFs of different interatomic distances computed from cif files of the crystalline phases of portlandite37 and gypsum55. The vertical dashed grey lines compare the interatomic distances computed from the cif files to the experimental PDFs. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
