Confinement geometry. Left-hand side: stack, (I) single-crystal membranes of mica with N3 unit cells, (II) liquid in the gap and (III) condensed liquid on the outer mica surfaces. Right-hand side: molecular structures of muscovite mica, TTMSS and water. The gap width D is defined as the distance between the surface potassium ions of the opposing mica crystals. |
