Research topics
The research activity formerly targeted the mineralogical and geochemical characterization of soils (diffractometric analysis of the clay fraction, geochemistry of anthropogenic heavy metals in soils and their interactions with clays), focused then on the study of nucleation and growth mechanisms of crystalline phases of environmental, biomineralogical and industrial interest. The work is mainly aimed at the comprehension of the nucleation and growth mechanisms of several crystalline phases belonging to the carbonates, phosphates, oxalates, sulfates, and alkali halides groups and at the comprehension of the mechanisms related to the ab-/ad-sorption phenomena of impurities and epitaxial interactions between phases as the fundamental mechanisms to control crystal morphology and structure, primarly designed for the achievement of functional architectures such as those of biominerals (biomimicry), up to the generation of mixed phases and polymorphs stabilization.
