X-ray diffraction reveals the consequences of strong deformation in thin smectic films: dilation and chevron formation
Jean de Dieu Niyonzima, Haifa Jeridi, Lamya Essaoui +14
Smectic liquid crystals can be viewed as model systems for lamellar structures for which there has been extensive theoretical development. We demonstrate that a nonlinear energy de…
Sharp spectral variations of the ultrafast transient light extinction by bimetallic nanoparticles in the near-UV
Tadele Otomalo, Lorenzo Di Mario, Cyrille Hamon +6
Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit localized plasmon resonance modes that span the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges and have many applications. Modifying the size, shape, a…
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of the Nallet Model
Doru Constantin
In 1993, Nallet, Laversanne and Roux put forward a simplified model for the intensity scattered by lamellar phases, which was nonetheless very successfully used in fitting experime…
Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction studies of lipid-peptide mixed monolayers during shear flow
Pradip Kumar Bera, Ajoy Kumar Kandar, Rema Krishnaswamy +7
Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) studies of monolayers of biomolecules at the air-water interface give quantitative information of in-plane packing, coherence lengths of…
Membrane-mediated interactions
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Doru Constantin, Jean-Baptiste Fournier
Interactions mediated by the cell membrane between inclusions, such as membrane proteins or antimicrobial peptides, play important roles in their biological activity. They also con…
Interaction and self-assembly of membrane-binding and membrane-excluding colloids embedded in lamellar phases
Ruben Zakine, Dasith de Silva Edirimuni, Doru Constantin +2
Within the framework of a discrete Gaussian model, we present analytical results for the interaction induced by a lamellar phase between small embedded colloids. We consider the tw…
