structural analysis. We efficiently modified a silicon ATR crystal surface with polyethylene glycol and thereby create a protein-repellent surface. To achieve a high sensitivity, which enables the...
critical molecular fluids, the temperature-dependence of the measured interactions is – for surface-to-surface distances above 160 nm – in excellent quantitative agreement with theory. Below 160 nm,...
Recent theories and simulations suggest that molecular additives can bind to the surfaces of nuclei, lower the surface energy, and accelerate nucleation. Experiments have shown that oligomeric and...
free-energy surface) derived from the atomistic simulation as parametrization target. Here, we present a new method where a neural network (NN) is used to extract high-dimensional free energy surfaces...
multilayered structure formed by NC in solution. This includes the nature (density and mass) of the surface ligands (SLs) that provide NC colloidal stability and the shell of solvent molecules formed...
however the role of the membrane in the aggregation process still needs to be clarified. We used a surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectro-scopic approach to investigate the effect of...
transition from amorphous to crystalline nanoparticles by introducing parameters directly related to the surface tensions of the two phases and also the differences of the entropy per particle in each...
mechanism, which allows to estimate the rate constants of the “pseudoelementary” reactions. The proposed surface-mediated mechanism of reduction of gold ions and Au NP growth allows to explain the...
as the driving force accelerating their further growth on the surface during the second precipitation. By having such inhomogeneous surface coating, the X-ray reciprocal space maps and modulation...
Abstract: In many scientific fields there is a high interest to study molecular adsorption processes on surfaces. The adsorbed molecule can have significant impact on the properties of the material...
