Abstract
New insights into crystal growth for zeolite Beta C are shown from simulation studies. Crystal growth may be facilitated by double 4-rings (see picture), giving rise to two distinct external surface topologies. The predictions concur with and explain recent experimental findings and provide evidence that the nanoscopic surface structures arise from complex reactions of siliceous oligomers with the zeolite surface.
