layer

Also contains definition of: double-layer
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.L03488
Any conceptual region of space restricted in one dimension, within or at the surface of a condensed phase or a @F02366@. The usage of the term '@F02366@' for an adsorption layer is confusing and is discouraged. The term double-layer applies to layers approximated by two 'distinct' sublayers.
