Title: Ab Initio Determined Phase Diagram of Clean and Solvated Muscovite Mica Surfaces

Surfaces in vacuum and in more realistic environmental conditions, that is, the surface in contact with water or an ionic liquid, are considered. These results naturally explain experimental observations such as the swelling of mica when it comes into contact with water.Read More
