Diffuse layers on the surface of mineral quartz

Abstract

The effect of simple chemical and physical treatments on the formation of a diffuse layer on the surface of a mineral quartz has been studied by small-angle X-ray scattering. The changes in layer thickness are related to changes in surface composition as determined by ESCA.
