Abstract
First principles molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on water adsorption at the surface of muscovite mica. At monolayer coverage we found water to condense into a fully connected two dimensional hydrogen bond network, which we denote as 2D ice. The structure is stable up to 300 K and it is proposed as a candidate for the solidlike structure recently detected in scanning polarization force microscopy on the hydrated muscovite surface at room temperature [Hu et al., Science 268, 267 (1995)].Keywords
