Periodic structures in lipid monolayer phase transitions.
Periodic patterns are observed when supported lipid monolayers doped with low concentrations of fluorescent lipid probes are observed with epi-fluorescence microscopy. Monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine were examined on air-water interfaces and also on alkylated glass coverslips. The patterns are formed by periodic arrays of solid-phase lipid domains in equilibrium with fluid-phase l...
متن کاملCritical shape transitions of monolayer lipid domains.
Fluorescence microscopy can be used to visualize coexisting fluid phases in lipid monolayers composed of cholesterol and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine under specified conditions of temperature, composition, and lateral pressure. At a critical composition of approximately 30 mol% cholesterol, decreasing the average molecular area below a(c) [unk]50 A(2) per molecule forces the binary mixture t...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Lipid Membranes
The seminar treats phase transitions in lipid membranes, with the focus on the main lipid bilayer phase transition. It reveals the microscopic picture and reviews the key factors leading to the presented phenomena. A general discussion on models is made and some concrete examples are presented in more detail. Finally, experimental approaches to study the phase behavior of lipid membranes are di...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Random Structures
These notes provides a perspective on phase transitions in random discrete structures informed by recent ideas and techniques from statistical physics. The lectures are based on the publications [11, 20, 22].
متن کاملStructures and Phase Transitions
The nonlocal nature of quantum entanglement has remained a subject of great interest since the earliest days of quantum mechanics as it causes many of the paradoxes and lies at the heart of the profound difference between quantum mechanics and classical physics. Quantum entanglement is observed primarily for simple quantum objects (photons or/and atoms) in environments specially designed to min...
