The combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy, known as spectroelectrochemistry
(SEC), is an already established approach. By combining these two techniques, the …

Optical spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study in depth manifold physical processes
occurring in molecular solids, at interfaces between molecules and substrates, and at …

Noninvasive and label-free analysis of cell membranes at the nanoscale is essential to
comprehend vital cellular processes. However, conventional analytical tools generally fail to …

Combined Langmuir− Blodgett vertical withdrawing and Langmuir− Schaefer horizontal
touch (LB− LS) methods were employed to transfer DMPC bilayers onto a Au (111) …

This article describes efforts to build a model biological membrane at a surface of a gold
electrode. In this architecture, the membrane may be exposed to static electric fields on the …

Lipids, together with molecules such as DNA and proteins, are one of the most relevant
systems responsible for the existence of life. Selected lipids are able to assembly into …

Using large-area (cm2) single-crystal mica sheets as the templating substrate, we have
created correspondingly large template-stripped (TS) gold films (thickness 82±2 nm) that …

The emerging field of biosensors and bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in combination
with the recent advances in engineering. Even though biomedical implants can significantly …

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) was employed to study
structure of water in a phospholipid bilayer deposited at a gold electrode surface. The …

The surface of a gold electrode was functionalized with a hydrophilic monolayer of 1-thio-β-d-
glucose formed by spontaneous self-assembly. The Langmuir–Blodgett/Langmuir–Schaefer …
