title: Investigation of the surface structure of zeolite A.
abstract: The surface structure of zeolite A was investigated by FE-SEM, AFM, and HRTEM. First, it was shown by FE-SEM and AFM that the surface of zeolite A terminated with the same structure. Then, by combining the results with those of HRTEM, the terminal structure of zeolite A was identified as incomplete sodalite cages.
