We have performed surface x-ray scattering method using the crystal truncation rods (CTR) technique and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand the structure of muscovite (001) surface/0.5 M NaCl solution interfaces. The electronic density oscillation was observed up to 15 A apart from the surface. The density oscillation corresponds to the hydrated sodium ions and the ordered water molecules.
