Resolving the intrinsic short-range ordering of K+ ions on cleaved muscovite mica

Mica is a naturally occurring 2D mineral that has been heavily studied in many diverse areas. Here authors present atomic force microscopy images to study the mica surface in ultra-high vacuum conditions; they unveil the distribution of its surface K+ ions and give insights into the distribution of...
