The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, through which monolayers are transferred from the
air/water interface onto a solid substrate, was the first method to allow for the controlled …

Lipid monolayers on the surface of water have been studied for over a hundred years, but in
the last decade there has been a dramatic evolution in our understanding of the structures …

Lipid-bilayer membranes supported on solid substrates are widely used as cell-surface
models that connect biological and artificial materials. They can be placed either directly on …

The controlled transfer of organized monolayers of amphiphilic molecules from the air-water
interface to a solid substrate was the first molecular-scale technology for the creation of new …

Using infrared-visible sum-frequency generation as a probe, we have obtained the
vibrational spectrum of a monolayer of pentadecanoic acid on a water surface in the CH …

Mikhail Alexandrovich Krivoglaz died unexpectedly when he was preparing the English
edition of his two-volume monograph on diffraction and diffuse scatter ing of X-rays and …

The advent of well collimated, high intensity synchroton X-ray sources and the consequent
development of surface-specific X-ray diffraction and fluorescence techniques have recently …
