SCOZA for Monolayer Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show the way in which the self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approach (SCOZA) to obtaining structure factors and thermodynamics for Hamiltonian models can best be applied to two-dimensional systems such as monolayer films. We use the nearest-neighbor lattice gas on a square lattice as an illustrative example.

متن کاملBehenic Acid Monolayer and Bilayer Assemblies- A Study of Concanavalin A (Con A) Adsorption and its Interaction with Dextran Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectroscopy and Microscopy
Deposition of behenic acid (B.A) mono and bilayers onto gold coated surfaces was performed by Langmuir-Blodget dip-casting technique. Surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) and ellipsometry methods were employed for investigation of the monolayer and bilayer films. The adsorption of the biologically important molecule Concanavalin A (Con A) from bulk solution to these monolayers and bilayers as we...
متن کاملPhase transitions and critical behaviour of simple fluids and their mixtures
It has become clear that the self-consistent Ornstein–Zernike approximation (SCOZA) is a microscopic liquid-state theory that is able to predict the location of the critical point and of the liquid–vapour coexistence line of a simple fluid with high accuracy. However, applications of the SCOZA to continuum systems have been restricted up to now to liquids where the interatomic potentials consis...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Ornstein-Zernike Approximation (SCOZA) and exact second virial coefficients and their relationship with critical temperature for colloidal or protein suspensions with short-ranged attractive interactions.
We focus on the second virial coefficient B2 of fluids with molecules interacting through hard-sphere potentials plus very short-ranged attractions, namely, with a range of attraction smaller than half hard-sphere diameter. This kind of interactions is found in colloidal or protein suspensions, while the interest in B2 stems from the relation between this quantity and some other properties of t...
متن کاملA comparison of atomic force microscopy, confocal fluorescence microscopy and Brewster angle microscopy for characterizing mixed monolayer surfactant films
The ability to tailor the structure, composition and mechanical properties of surfactant films at solid-air and liquid-air interfaces is of considerable technological importance. Our group and others have been investigating properties of mixed monolayer films comprised of hydrogenated and perfluorinated surfactants through a variety of microscopy imaging techniques. These monolayers films are o...
