Structure of adsorbed water and cation in the Na-mica pores. (Left column) Density profiles of oxygen (red solid line) and hydrogen (black dashed line) of water molecules, and cations (blue solid line) for various pore widths of Na-mica system. In \(d=4.5\) Å, the oxygen (water) density profile is overlapped by the Na\(^+\) ion density. Note the redistribution of Na\(^+\) ions and layering of water with increase in d. L1 and L2 are the water layers (WLs) located closer to the surface. Probability distribution of \(\cos \theta _D\) (middle column) and \(\cos \theta _{HH}\) (right column) at various z-position within the pore. The \(P(\cos \theta _i,z)\) reported were normalized by the maximum value observed in that confined system.
