Influence of the Head Group Size on the Direction of Tilt in Langmuir Monolayers
نویسنده
چکیده
A model of rods with heads of variable size, which are confined to a planar surface, is used to study the influence of the head group size on tilted phases in Langmuir monolayers. Simple free energy considerations as well as exact zero temperature calculations indicate that molecules with small head groups tilt towards next nearest neighbors, and molecules with larger head groups towards nearest neighbors. This provides a possible explanation for recent experimental results, and for details of the generic phase diagram for fatty acid monolayers. PACS numbers: 68.18, 68.35

متن کاملLangmuir monolayers as disordered solids: Strain-tilt-backbone coupling and natural order parameters for the swiveling transitions
Langmuir monolayers as disordered solids: Strain-tilt-backbone coupling and natural order parameters for the swiveling transitions" (1999). Multistability of Langmuir monolayers, in particular those composed of fatty acids, is reflected by a very rich and complicated phase diagram. We argue that strain-tilt-backbone coupling determines the behavior described by that diagram. Following the solid...

متن کاملBond-orientational order in Langmuir-Blodgett surfactant monolayers
Cadmium stearate surfactant molecules assembled into monolayers by the Langmuir-Blodgett method exhibit bond-orientational order. Bond-orientational correlations extend over macroscopic distances on the order of a millimeter while translational correlations decay on a scale of tens of angstroms. The long axis of the molecules are tilted away from the surface normal but the tilt direction is dis...
متن کاملبررسی اثر تغییر زاویه پلن مندیبل بر روی دقت ابعاد تصاویر توموگرافی خطی مندیبل
Background and Aims: Accurate bone measurements are essential for determining the optimal size and length of proposed implants. The radiologist should be aware of the head position effects on image dimensions in each imaging technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mandibular plane angle on image dimensions in linear tomography.Materials and Methods: In this in vitro s...
