Stability and phase separation in mixed self-assembled monolayers.
Recent single molecule experiments rely on the self-assembly of binary mixtures of molecules with very different properties in a stable monolayer, in order to probe the characteristics of the interspersed molecule of interest in a controlled environment. However, not all efforts at coassembly have been successful. To study systematically the behavior of such systems, we derive the free energy o...
متن کاملStability and liquid-liquid phase separation in mixed saturated lipid bilayers.
The phase stability of a fluid lipid bilayer composed of a mixture of DC(18)PC, (DSPC), and a shorter DCn(s) PC, with n(s) from 8 to 17, has been studied using a self-consistent field theory that explicitly includes molecular details and configurational properties of the lipid molecules. Phase separation between two liquid phases was found when there was a sufficient mismatch between the hydrop...
متن کاملSpontaneous curvature and thermodynamic stability of mixed amphiphilic layers
The elastic behavior of mixed bilayers composed of two amphiphilic components with different chain length ~and identical head groups! is studied using two molecular level models. In both, the bilayer free energy is expressed as a sum of chain, head group and interfacial contributions as well as a mixing entropy term. The head group and interfacial terms are modeled using simple phenomenological...
متن کاملStructure and Stability of Phase Transition Layers in Interstellar Medium
We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connect the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of thermally bistable interstellar medium. The front becomes the evaporation or condensation front depending on surrounding pressure. The stability analysis was done by long and s...
متن کاملassessing political stability and instability in central asia and caucasus; case study, azerbaijan and kyrgyzstan
منطقه ی آسیای مرکزی وقفقاز به عنوان منطقه ای تاریخی و به دلیل دارا بودن ذخایر عظیم هیدرو کربنی از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. کشورهای این منطقه از عوامل عمده ی بی ثباتی نظیر عوامل جغرافیایی، اقتصادی، امنیتی، اجتماعی و سیاسی رنج می برند. پس از فروپاشی اتحاد جماهیر شوروی کشورهای منطقه از نعمت استقلال ناخواسته ای برخوردار شدند که مشکلات فوق را برای آن ها چندین برابر می کرد. در این روند برخی از این...
