Origin of 6-fold coordinated aluminum at (010)-type pyrophyllite edges
To better understand the aqueous chemical reactivity of clay mineral edges we explored the relationships between hydration and the structure of (010)-type edges of pyrophyllite. In particular, we used density functional theory and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules to evaluate the stability of...
