Three-dimensional scanning force microscopy visualizes water distribution at a solid-liquid interface, indicating surface relaxation.

This research aims to visualize the distribution of water molecules at the mica-water interface with atomic-scale resolution.
Developed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy (3D-SFM) for visualization.
Observed water molecules at the mica-water interface.
Captured images with atomic-scale resolution in under 1 minute.
Visualized 3D distributions of adsorbed water molecules.
Identified mirror symmetry in the water distribution image.
Indicated surface relaxation of the cleaved mica surface near water.
