Adsorption and photoreactivity of CdSe nanoparticles at liquid|liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Bin Su, Jean-Pierre Abid, Nicolas Eugster

The voltage induced assembly and photoreactivity of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles protected by mercaptosuccinic acid are studied at the polarisable interface between water and 1,2-dichloroethane electrolyte solutions. Cyclic voltammograms and admit ...

Extending the Clapper-Yule model to rough printing supports

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

The Clapper-Yule model is the only classical spectral reflection model for halftone prints that takes explicitly into account both the multiple internal reflections between the print-air interface and the paper substrate and the lateral propagation of ligh ...

Time-Resolved Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Spectroscopy Part I. Photophysics of Coumarin 343 at Liquid/Liquid Interface

Hubert Girault

Pico-second time-resolved time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique under the total internal reflection (TIR) condition has been used to study the photophysical properties of Coumarin 343 (C343) dye molecules adsorbed at the water/1,2-dichlo ...

Ag+ transfer across the water|1,2-dichloroethane interface facilitated by complex formation with tetraphenylborate derivatives

Hubert Girault, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira, Laure Tomaszewski

The assisted transfer of silver ion, Ag+, by complexation of Ag+ with the tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (TPBCl−) anion was studied at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). The elucidation of the interfacial mechanisms employe ...

Capillarity Induced Negative Pressure of Water Plugs in Nanochannels

We have found evidence that water plugs in hydrophilic nanochannels can be at significant negative pressure due to tensile capillary forces. The negative pressure of water plugs in nanochannels induces bending of the thin channel capping layer, which resul ...

Interactive specification and extraction of free form surfaces from the visible human

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach, Laurent Saroul

We present new interaction and visualization paradigms relying on free form surfaces for studying and exploring human anatomy. We propose an interface for building three-dimensional anatomical scenes incorporating 3D anatomical organ models, freely orienta ...

Validity of the bond-energy picture for the energetics at Si-SiO2 interfaces

Alfredo Pasquarello, Angelo Bongiorno

Using a first-principles approach, we assess the validity of a picture for the energetics at Si-SiO2 interfaces based on bond energies complemented with penalty energies for silicon atoms in intermediate oxidation states. By total-energy calculations on cl ...

Model interface between silicon and disordered SiO2

Alfredo Pasquarello

A model interface between Si and disordered SiO2 is obtained which incorporates the interface bonding pattern previously generated by first-principles molecular dynamics. The model is then characterized by comparing its properties with experimental data wh ...

Polarization-modulated FTIR spectroscopy of lipid/gramicidin monolayers at the air/water interface

Horst Vogel

Monolayers of gramicidin A, pure and in mixts. with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), were studied in situ at the air/H2O and air/D2O interfaces by polarization-modulated IR reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS). Simulations of the entire set ...

Texture control of PbTiO3 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films with TiO2 seeding

Paul Muralt, Hans Jörg Mathieu, Thomas Maeder, Nicolas Xanthopoulos, Stéphane Hiboux

The nature and the role of 1 to 5 nm thick TiO2 seed layers for the growth of textured PbTiO3 and Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 thin films on textured Pt(111) thin film substrates have been studied. Under otherwise identical in situ sputter deposition process conditions, ...
