X-ray reflectivity of a Langmuir monolayer on water
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 We built a special Langmuir through allowing the use of X-ray reflectivity. Using the device we studied for the first time the density profile of a Langmuir monolayer directly on water. This experiment opens new prospects in particular to measure the roughness of solid films on water subphase. Revue Phys. Appl. 22 .(1987) 775-778 AOÛT 1987,

Neutron and X-ray scattering on the monolayer structure of a lecithin fullerene-derivative.
Using neutron reflectivity with contrast variation, X-ray reflectivity, and grazing incident small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), we have characterized the in-depth and in-plane structural characteristics of the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films formed by a novel lecithin C60-derivative, FPTL, of three phospholipids jointly bonded on one single olefinic moiety of a C60 cage. Based on ...
متن کاملEffects of cardiolipin on membrane morphology: a Langmuir monolayer study.
Cardiolipin (CL) is a complex phospholipid that is specifically found in mitochondria. Owing to the association of the CL levels with mitochondrial physiopathology such as in Parkinson's disease, we study the molecular effect of CL on membrane organization using model Langmuir monolayer, fluorescence microscopy, and x-ray reflectivity. We find that the liquid-expanded phase in membranes increas...
متن کاملEffect of metal ions on monolayer collapses.
A Langmuir monolayer of stearic acid on pure water and in the presence of certain divalent metal ions such as Cd and Pb at pH approximately 6.5 of the subphase water collapses at constant area, while for other divalent ions such as Mg, Co, Zn, and Mn at the same subphase pH the monolayer collapses nearly at constant pressure. Films of stearic acid with Cd, Pb, Mn, and Co in the subphase (at pH ...
متن کاملStructure of a monolayer of molecular rotors on aqueous subphase from grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction.
In situ grazing-incidence X-ray scattering shows that a monolayer of artificial rod-shaped dipolar molecular rotors produced on the surface of an aqueous subphase in a Langmuir trough has a structure conducive to a 2D ferroelectric phase. The axes of the rotors stand an average of 0.83 nm apart in a triangular grid, perpendicular to the surface within experimental error. They carry 2,3-dichloro...
متن کاملX-ray and neutron investigation of self-assembled lipid layers on a titanium surface.
Titanium is the most widely preferred metal material for bone reconstruction in orthopedics and dentistry. To improve its biological performance, various coatings can be applied. In this investigation, a biomimetic coating on a model implant surface was studied in X-ray and neutron reflectivity experiments to probe the quality of this coating, which is only few nanometers thick. Titanium was de...
