چکیده

Anions populate fluid interfaces specifically. Here, we report experiments showing that on hydrogen-bonded interfaces anions interact specifically over unexpectedly long distances. The composition of binary electrolyte (Na(+), X(-)∕Y(-)) films was investigated as a function of solvent, film thickness, and third ion additions in free-standing films produced by blowing up drops with a high-speed gas. These films soon fragment into charged sub-micrometer droplets carrying excess anions detectable in situ by online electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. We found that (1) the larger anions are enriched in the thinner (nanoscopic air-liquid-air) films produced at higher gas velocities in all (water, methanol, 2-propanol, and acetonitrile) tested solvents, (2) third ions (beginning at sub-μM levels) specifically perturb X(-)∕Y(-) ratios in water and methanol but have no effect in acetonitrile or 2-propanol. Thus, among these polar organic liquids (of similar viscosities but much smaller surface tensions and dielectric permittivities than water) only on methanol do anions interact specifically over long, viz.: ∕nm = 150 (c∕μM)(-1∕3), distances. Our findings point to the extended hydrogen-bond networks of water and methanol as likely conduits for such interactions.

Growth mechanism of amorphous hydrogenated carbon

Amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) films offer a wide range of applications due to their extraordinary material properties like high hardness, chemical inertness and infrared transparency. The films are usually deposited in low temperature plasmas from a hydrocarbon precursor gas, which is dissociated and ionized in the plasma and radicals and ions impinging onto the surface leading to film ...

The evaluation of minimum detectable phantom thickness change using a scanning liquid filled ion chamber EPID dose response

 ABSTRACTBackground: Although Electronic Portal imaging Devices (EPIDs) have originally developed for positioning verification, they can also be used for dosimetric purposes. In the current work, the dose response of minimum detectable thickness of a Scanning Liquid filled Ion Chamber EPID, SLIC-EPID, and the variation of transmitted dose with the shift of inhomogeneity inside of phantom was al...

Modeling thermodynamic properties of electrolytes: Inclusion of the mean spherical approximation (MSA) in the simplified SAFT equation of state

In this work, an equation of state has been utilized for thermodynamic modeling of aqueous electrolyte solutions. The proposed equation of state is a combination of simplified statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) equation of state (similar to simplified PC-SAFT) to describe the effect of short-range interactions and mean spherical approximation (MSA) term to describe the effect of long-r...

Ion-specific long-range correlations on interfacial water driven by hydrogen bond fluctuations.

Some of the most important processes in nature involve interfacial water. It has long been conjectured that specific ion effects therein are associated with the unique properties of interfacial water. Here we reveal the mechanism of such association by showing that the strength of ion-specific long-range correlations tracks the amplification of fluctuations on the surface of water-alcohol mixtu...
