“Dynamics and structure of mono-molecularly thick water-ethanol layers confined between graphene and mica “
Abstract:
The behaviour of multicomponent liquids in confining geometries is a fundamental physical problem, which plays a central role in fields such as nano-fluidics, molecular biophysics, single molecule spectroscopy, and nano-chemistry, e.g. for molecular transport through channels of biological membranes analyte recognition in molecular assays and molecular synthesis. We followed in-situ the dynamics within mixed monomolecular water-ethanol films in a slit pore between a hydrophilic atomically flat mica surface and a more hydrophobic graphene layer, using scanning force microscopy. …
