N2 - The calcite-liquid interface is of great importance in many industrial and academic situations. In this paper, this interface is investigated using the powerful method of neutron reflection. Experimental approaches to overcome the challenges of surface roughness, cleanliness and mineral dissolution have been developed. Based on this protocol, the interfaces of calcite with the liquids water, toluene and heptane have been characterised successfully. Hence this study allows the technique of neutron reflection to be expanded to the investigation of mineral surfaces.
