Grazing-incidence Rutherford backscattering and angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectrometry are used to determine the ion-concentration profiles near the surface of a solution consisting of a salt (TEABr) in a weakly polar organic liquid (polyethylene glycol) with atomic-layer depth resolution. The predictions of a model, in which ions in solution are repelled from the surface due to a screened Coulomb interaction with their image charge, are in good agreement with measured ion profiles. This contrasts with the behavior of salts in aqueous and highly polar organic solutions.

Abstract
Grazing-incidence Rutherford backscattering and angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectrometry are used to determine the ion-concentration profiles near the surface of a solution consisting of a salt (TEABr) in a weakly polar organic liquid (polyethylene glycol) with atomic-layer depth resolution. The predictions of a model, in which ions in solution are repelled from the surface due to a screened Coulomb interaction with their image charge, are in good agreement with measured ion profiles. This contrasts with the behavior of salts in aqueous and highly polar organic solutions.File in questo prodotto:
