Solid/liquid interfaces control many physical and chemical properties such as electrophoresis, friction, and dispersion of colloid particles. Atomic distribution at solid/liquid interfaces has a strong correlation with these properties, and understanding these structures is necessary to establish the fundamental physics and chemistry of the solid/liquid interfaces. In this study, we have investigated the structure of mica/aqueous NaCl solution interfaces using surface X-ray scattering measurements and molecular dynamics simulations. The sub-A-scale atomic distribution of the mica/aqueous NaCl solution interface is revealed as a function of the distance normal to the interface. The density of the NaCl solution oscillates to be 12 A apart from the surface observed by the surface X-ray scattering measurements. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the oscillation corresponds to hydrated Na+ ions, adsorbed water molecules, and water molecules surrounding the hydrated ions. The structure helps to unders...
