NMR Studies of Cartilage – Dynamics, Diffusion, Degradation
An increasing number of people is suffering from rheumatic diseases, and, therefore, methods of early diagnosis of joint degeneration are urgently... -
Molecular Dynamics of Liquids in Confinement
Surface and confinement effects may have substantial effects on the molecular and collective dynamics of liquids. Within this chapter, we describe... -
Introduction
The ability of mankind to produce and process materials has been an important aspect of human development. This is reflected in the names of certain... -
Growth of Ultrathin Metal Films
Driven by the requirement to tailor film properties for many technological applications, our understanding of the atomic processes involved in... -
Correlation Between Magnetism, Structure and Growth for Ultrathin Fe Films on Cu(100)
To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the correlation between the magnetism and structure of materials has been a research goal of scientists... -
Epitaxy-Stabilized Structures
Ultrathin films can be grown pseudomorphically on suitable substrates under certain growth conditions, even when the structure grown differs from the... -
Magnetism of Ultrathin Metal Films
The last two chapters have described the growth and structure of epitaxial films. Here, the basic aspects of ultrathin-film magnetism and their... -
Characterization of Floating Surface Layers of Lipids and Lipopolymers by Surface-Sensitive Scattering
Nanotechnology and molecular (bio-)engineering are making ever deepening inroads into everybody’s daily life. Physicochemical and biotechnological... -

Liquid Crystals in Confining Geometries
The properties of liquid-crystalline (LC) phases under submicrometer geometrical confinement can change substantially with respect to bulk samples.... -
Structure of Ultrathin Films
In this chapter, various aspects of the actual film structure will be explored. These topics include the different possible structures of... -
Diffusion in Channels and Channel Networks
A large variety of nanoporous materials host channel networks with pore diameters on the order of typical molecular dimensions. Molecular diffusion... -
Surfaces and Interfaces of Free-Standing Smectic Films
Free-standing smectic films are unique fluid objects with an exceptionally large surface-to-volume ratio. They are excellently suited for studies of... -
Paramagnetic Adsorption Complexes as Studied by Advanced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Techniques
One major challenge in the research of microporous materials is the spectroscopic characterization of surface adsorption complexes. If the adsorbed... -
Summary and Outlook
It has been the aim of this book to illustrate the potential of epitaxially grown ultrathin films. In particular, metal-on-metal heteroepitaxy has... -
Structure–Mobility Relations of Molecular Diffusion in Interface Systems
The behaviour of molecules in contact with interfaces may significantly deviate from the patterns known from their behaviour in the bulk. This is in... -
Manganese Films on Cu(100) and Ni(100)
In the previous chapter, a correlation between the structure, growth and magnetism was established for the workhorse of thin-film magnetism,... -
17O NMR Studies of Zeolites
Multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) and double rotation (DOR) techniques were applied in the fields of 17.6 T and 11.7 T to the study the...
