Lamellar phase coexistence induced by electrostatic interactions
Membranes containing highly charged biomolecules can have a minimal free-energy state at small separations that originates in the strongly correlated electrostatic interactions mediated by counterions. This ph...

Temperature effect on the transport dynamics of a small molecule through a liposome bilayer
An ion having hydrophobic parts can directly transport through the liposome bilayer without an ion channel and its transport mechanism can be explained by the free-volume theory. This was confirmed by investig...

Dynamic tribological probes: particle emission andtransient electrical measurements
We describe two novel, dynamic probes of fracture, wear, anddeformation during tribological loading that provide insight intoenergy dissipation mechanisms associated with fracture, flow, andadhesive detachment...

A scanning force microscope study of a tribochemicalsystem: stress-enhanced dissolution
Scanning force microscopy (SFM) is employed to study a modeltribochemical system: single-crystal calcite in saturated(≥ 60 μ M) CaCO3solution. The tribological stimulus is provided by the SFM tipitself. Local dis...

Surface Crystallization and Thin Film Melting in Normal Alkanes
Normal alkanes of carbon number n>14 exhibit surface crystallization at their liquid-vapor interface. This has been investigated with x-ray reflectivity, grazing incidence scattering and surface tension measur...

Kinetics of Shear Induced Micellar Association
Rheological measurements have been used to study the kinetics of shear induced association for rod-shape micelles formed by mixtures of ADHAB and salicylic-sodium salt. Pronounced hysteresis and large fluctuat...

X-Ray Studies of the Liquid/Vapor Interface: Water and Polymer and Fatty Acid Monolayers on Water
X-ray specular reflectivity is used to study the liquid-vapor interface of pure water and of fatty acid and polymer monolayers at that interface. For the pure water surface the reflectivity was measured for th...

Surface Adsorption Studied by Optical SHG: Soluble Monolayers at the Air/Water Interface
Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is applied to investigate the structure of the interfacial layer of soluble surfactants adsorbed to the air/water interface.
