Direct Observation of Water Layers on Mica Surface in Water by Atomic Force Microscope

Ming Su, Chunli Bai, Maozi Liu, Chen Wang

Abstract

Abstract Water film on mica surface immersed in water is directly detected and imaged by atomic force microscope. The depressions and islands indicate the existence of water layer, which preserve some solid characters of mica lattice. The observation is attributed to the inhomogeneity and disruption of water layers adjacent to mica.
