The near surface structure of
1-docosyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide
([C22mim+][TFSI−])
was studied by x-ray reflectivity (XRR) and gracing incidence diffraction (GID).
At high temperatures, an oscillating decaying electron density profile was observed by XRR experiments [1].
Up to 20∘C above the bulk melting point, the formation of
a discrete number of surface crystalline layers was detected by XRR.
Their in-plane structure was studied by GID.
Complementary bulk x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and
petrographic microscopy measurements suggest that the observed surface structure is related to a metastable bulk phase.
