a-f, A time series showing the mica surface in a 1 mM AlCl3 solution at pH 3.9 is shown at various time points: (a) t0, (b) t0 + 65.5 s, (c) t0 + 131.0 s, (d) t0 + 196.5 s, (e) t0 + 262.1 s, (f) t0 + 495 s. The small light spots, corresponding to hydrolyzed Al ions, cover the entire surface, forming a network. Additionally, some larger particles can be seen fluctuating on top of the network.
