My findings show that the surface compact layer is in a two-dimensional crystalline state (symmetry p2), with four ions forming the unit cell and a ~30 Angstrom translational correlation length between sodium ions.13 pages, 4 figuresSoft Condensed MatterMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsCrystals of Na+ ions at the surface of a silica hydrosoltext
