Abstract
We have investigated the surface composition of alkali-halide aqueous solutions using grazing incidence x-ray fluorescence. Using mixtures of salts as a means to enhance the short-range effects, small differences in concentration over a few angstrom could be resolved, with, for example I- or Br- > Cl-. In order to explain our data, we need to include an effective potential accounting for the short-range (A) solvent mediated couplings, responsible for specific effects together with dispersion forces. This attractive potential (few k{B}T for halides) leads to concentration profiles which are in good agreement with recent numerical simulations.
