Title: Epitaxial Growth of Gibbsite Sheets on the Basal Surface of Muscovite Mica

Abstract

The growth of aluminum (oxyhydr)oxide films on the basal surface of muscovite mica is an excellent model system for studying mineral nucleation, growth, and reactivity. Using off-specular crystal truncation rod X-ray scattering, we have determined the atomic-scale epitaxial relationships between muscovite and monolayer overgrowths of a gibbsite-like material. Here, we observe that dioctahedral sheets of aluminum (oxyhydr)oxide grow in three structurally distinct domains, separated by antiphase boundaries. Vacancies in the dioctahedral sheets overlie either the silicate tetrahedra or the ditrigonal cavities of the underlying muscovite surface. High-resolution atomic force microscopy indicates lateral island sizes of ~10 nm separated by 1–2 nm spaces. Together, the X-ray and microscopy data provide insights into the coordination chemistry and morphology of films formed by heterogeneous nucleation and growth.

Figure 1 Figure 1: In-situ AFM images taken prior to, during, and after film growth. (a) High resolution image of a muscovite (001) surface in 10 mM HCl, showing the expected pseudo-hexagonal lattice. (b) Grown film imaged in-situ at 70 °C, showing ~57% coverage with islands. (c) Height profile of blue linemore » in (b), showing that the apparent film height is on the order of 6 Å. (d) Room temperature image of film after growth, with center region showing mechanical erosion to expose the underlying mica surface, demonstrating that the film is only one gibbsite layer thick. (e) High resolution imaging of a film after 90 hours aging, showing semi-crystalline linear features, but lacking perfect crystalline order.« less
