Phase Transitions in Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Monolayers.
A self-assembled phospholipid monolayer at an air-water interface is a well-defined model system for studying surface thermodynamics, membrane biophysics, thin-film materials, and colloidal soft matter. Here we report a study of two-dimensional phase transitions in the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) monolayer at the air-water interface using a newly developed methodology called constrain...
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-...
متن کاملThe effect of selected anions on dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine phase transitions.
The effect of three anions, Cl-, Br- and I-, on the phase transitions of dipalxnitoylphosphatidyicholine (DPPC) was measured. Main phase transition was modestly affected by these anions in the salt concentration range 0.2 M. For Cl- and Br- the temperature of main phase transition was lower (by about 0.5 degrees C), its half-width modestly larger and enthalpy practically unchanged, all three pa...
متن کاملPhase transitions of colloidal monolayers in periodic pinning arrays.
We study the phase behavior of two-dimensional paramagnetic colloidal systems on square pinning arrays, the latter being created by a holographic optical tweezer technique. When the particle interaction strength is decreased, a transition from an incommensurate to a commensurate solid is observed. At even smaller pair potentials, the interstitial particles start to melt, whereas the particles a...
متن کاملPhase transitions in hexane monolayers physisorbed onto graphite
We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of a complete monolayer of hexane physisorbed onto the basal plane of graphite. At low temperatures the system forms a herringbone solid. With increasing temperature, a solid-to-nematic liquid-crystal transition takes place at T1=138±2 K followed by another transition at T2=176±3 K into an isotropic fluid. We characterize the different pha...
