Abstract

Preliminary atomic force microscopy investigations of the {104} calcite surface cleaved in ethanol indicate a different surface behaviour than that of the {104} surface cleaved in air. The results are consistent with recent theoretical studies and suggest strong ordering of ethanol over the termination of the bulk calcite structure.
