Sentence examples for between the unit layers from inspiring English sources
This results in a charge deficiency that is balanced by potassium ions between the unit layers.
Thus this dimension may vary from about 9.6 Å, when there are no polar molecules between the unit layers, to nearly complete separation of the individual layers.
For specimens initially infiltrated with CaCl2 solutions, in addition to the osmotic suction effect, the distance between the unit layers of montmorillonite also played a role in explaining the swelling behavior.
The distinguishing feature of the smectite structure is that water and other polar molecules (in the form of certain organic substances) can, by entering between the unit layers, cause the structure to expand in the direction normal to the basal plane.
The sputtered MoS2 film shows clear layered structure with 2 3 atomic S Mo S layers and the distance between the unit layers is about 0.65 nm, as shown in the enlarged HRTEM image in Fig. 2d.
In contrast to the swelling bentonites, which partially disperse themselves spontaneously in water owing to the swelling caused by penetration of water between the unit layers, the three-dimensional structure of attapulgite prohibits any internal swelling action, which reduces access to adsorbed molecules.
The restriction is that there is no interaction between the units of the same layer and the connections are solely between units from different layers.
At first this seems counterintuitive; one might imagine that highly acidic solutions should provide more effective hydrolysis conditions than near-neutral ones, but the reverse seems to be the case: hydrolysis under near-neutral conditions removes all the D4R units from between the UTL layers, while hydrolysis using 12 m HCl removes only half the D4R units.
The final materials will therefore contain different proportions of "IPC-2" connections (single-four-ring units between the layers) and "IPC-4" connections (only oxygen atoms between the layers), depending on the degree of staging.
I tried to draw parallels between the layers of sound and layers of video clips".
