A new C]H]O ternary diagram is presented based on radical species composition showing the regions for diamond deposition, non-diamond deposition, and no deposition from the vapor phase. This construction is based on the steady-state computations of gas-phase and gas-surface chemistry from the data points presented in the C]H]O ternary diagram based on feed gas Ž Ž . . composition by Bachmann et...

We construct a simple phenomenological theory of phase separation in ternary mixtures of cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated lipids. Such separation is relevant to the formation of 'rafts' in the plasma membrane. We also show how simple cross-linking of proteins which prefer one form of lipid to the other can trigger raft-formation, the first step in a signaling pathway.

The melting point of a deep eutectic solvent formed from a ternary mixture of ethylammonium bromide (EABr), butylammonium bromide (BABr) and urea is 10 °C, which is almost 40 °C lower than the melting points of binary DESs formed from either EABr:urea or BABr:urea mixtures. This reveals a new route to prepare room temperature DESs via mixing different cations.
