Graphene Visualizes the First Water Adlayers on Mica at Ambient Conditions

Xu, Ke, Cao, Peigen, Heath, James R.·2010·Science

Abstract

Icy Adsorption: The highly mobile nature of adsorbed liquid water on surfaces has made structural studies using atomic force microscopy challenging, especially for the first adsorbed layer. Moreover, scanning probe methods are hindered by the strong interaction between the probe tip and the water molecules. When graphene flakes were deposited on mica, Xu et al. (p. 1188 ; see the Perspective by Katsnelson ) found that they could use atomic force microscopy to image the first and second layers of introduced water. They consistently observed an islandike structure—0.34 nanometers in height, at low humidity—that corresponded to a single layer of ice. At higher humidity, thicker layers with a more liquid nature were observed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
