We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

Abstract The Langmuir-Blodgett technique is a way of making ultrathin organic films with a
controlled layer structure, which have many possible applications in technology for signal …

Introduction to Liquid Crystals: Chemistry and Physics, Second Edition relies on only
introductory level chemistry and physics as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal …

We report a molecular simulation study of freezing transitions for simple fluids in narrow slit
pores. A major stumbling block in previous studies of freezing in pores has been the lack of …

We have performed x‐ray scattering studies of freely suspended, thick (∼ 2μ), oriented
dimyristoyl–phosphatidyl–choline (DMPC)–water multilamellar films with the emphasis on …

For almost a century, monolayers of amphiphilic molecules on the water surface havebeen
studied by means of their surface pressure-area isotherms. 1, 2 Such experiments provide …

Designed for advanced undergraduate students and as a useful reference book for
materials researchers, Physical Properties of Materials, Third Edition establishes the …

We present images of the polar or headgroup regions of bilayers of dimyristoyl-
phosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition onto mica …

We report both experimental measurements and molecular simulations of the melting and
freezing behavior of fluids in nanoporous media. The experimental studies are for …

Molecular simulations for simple fluids in narrow slit-shaped carbon pores exhibit crystal-
hexatic and hexatic-liquid transitions that are consistent with Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin …
