Capillary Filling of Anodized Alumina Nanopore Arrays
K. J. Alvine, O. G. Shpyrko, P. S. Pershan +2
The filling behavior of a room temperature solvent, perfluoromethylcyclohexane, in approximately 20 nm nanoporous alumina membranes was investigated in situ with small angle x-ray…
Surface Crystallization in a Liquid AuSi Alloy
Oleg G. Shpyrko, Reinhard Streitel, V. S. K. Balagurusamy +6
X-ray measurements reveal a crystalline monolayer at the surface of the eutectic liquid Au_{82}Si_{18}, at temperatures above the alloy's melting point. Surface-induced atomic laye…
Solvent Mediated Assembly of Nanoparticles Confined in Mesoporous Alumina
Kyle J. Alvine, Diego Pontoni, Oleg G. Shpyrko +7
The controlled self-assembly of thiol stabilized gold nanocrystals in a mediating solvent and confined within mesoporous alumina was probed in situ with small angle x-ray scatterin…
Surface Induced Order in Liquid Metals and Binary Alloys
Elaine DiMasi, Holger Tostmann, Oleg G. Shpyrko +3
Measurements of the surface x-ray scattering from several pure liquid metals (Hg, Ga, and In) and from three alloys (Ga-Bi, Bi-In, and K-Na) with different heteroatomic chemical in…
Surface layering of liquids: The role of surface tension
Oleg Shpyrko, Masafumi Fukuto, Peter Pershan +4
Recent measurements show that the free surfaces of liquid metals and alloys are always layered, regardless of composition and surface tension; a result supported by three decades o…
