Abstract

Salty strand: Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that a monoatomic silver wire, immersed in an aqueous solution of NaCl, is covered by a monoatomic salt with spiral structure (see picture). This behaviour is in striking contrast to that of a plane silver electrode, on which Na+ does not adsorb. The difference is caused mainly by steric effects.
