Electrostatically Assembled Open Square and Checkerboard Superlattices
Binay P. Nayak, Wenjie Wang, Honghu Zhang +4
Programmable assembly of nanoparticles into structures other than hexagonal lattices remains challenging. Assembling an open checkerboard or square lattice is harder to achieve com…
Specific Iron Binding to Natural Sphingomyelin Membrane Induced by Non-Specific Co-Solutes
Wenjie Wang, Honghu Zhang, Binay P. Nayak +1
Hypothesis: Sphingomyelin (SPM), a crucial phospholipid in the myelin sheath, is vital in insulating nerve fibers. We hypothesize that iron ions selectively bind to the phosphatidy…
Effect of Grafting Density on the Two-dimensional Assembly of Nanoparticles
Binay P. Nayak, James Ethan Batey, Hyeong Jin Kim +5
Employing grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR), we demonstrate that films composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted silver nanop…
Assembling PNIPAM-Capped Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solutions
Binay P. Nayak, Hyeong Jin Kim, Srikanth Nayak +4
Employing small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we explore the conditions under which the assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) grafted with the thermo-sensitive polymer Poly(N-iso…
Density Profiles of Liquid/Vapor Interfaces Away from Their Critical Point
Wei Bu, Doseok Kim, David Vaknin
We examine the applicability of various model profiles for the liquid/vapor interface by X-ray reflectivities on water and ethanol and their mixtures at room temperature. Analysis…
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy from ions at charged vapor/water interfaces
Wei Bu, David Vaknin
X-ray fluorescence spectra from monovalent ions (Cs+) that accumulate from dilute solutions to form an ion-rich layer near a charged Langmuir monolayer are presented. For the salt…
