Pattern formation and morphology evolution in Langmuir monolayers.
We present a study of how patterns formed by Langmuir monolayer domains of a stable phase, usually solid or liquid condensed, propagate into a metastable one, usually liquid expanded. During this propagation, the interface between the two phases moves as the metastable phase is transformed into the more stable one. The interface becomes unstable and forms patterns as a result of the competition...
متن کاملDomain growth, pattern formation, and morphology transitions in Langmuir monolayers. A new growth instability.
The aims of this study are the following two: (1) To show that in Langmuir monolayers (LM) at low supersaturation, domains grow forming fractal structures without an apparent orientational order trough tip splitting dynamics, where doublons are the building blocks producing domains with a seaweed shape. When supersaturation is larger, there is a morphology transition from tip splitting to side ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium pattern formation in chiral Langmuir monolayers with transmembrane flows
Studies of pattern formation in nonequilibrium soft matter are essential for understanding the operation of biological cells and for potential applications [1]. Biological membranes including active molecular pumps or channels can develop shape oscillations and show persistent wave propagation [2, 3]. If a membrane contains rotating molecular motors, interactions between them may lead to the de...
متن کاملPhotosystem I in Langmuir-Blodgett and Langmuir-Schaefer monolayers.
Photosystem I (PSI) is a membrane protein complex that generates photoinduced electrons and transfers them across the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis. The PSI complex, separated from spinach leaves, was spread onto the air-water interface as a monolayer and transferred onto a gold electrode surface that was precoated with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The electrochemical properties...
متن کاملStructure and phase transitions in Langmuir monolayers
Lipid monolayers on the surface of water have been studied for over a hundred years, but in the last decade there has been a dramatic evolution in our understanding of the structures and phase transitions of these systems, driven by new experimental techniques and theoretical advances. In this review, dense monolayers of simple lipids are described in detail, including structures revealed by x-...
