AbstractThe molecular structure and phase diagram of relaxed monolayer films of methyl eicosanoate at the air/water interface were studied using x-ray diffraction and Brewster Angle Microscopy. Six phases have been identified in relaxed films in a temperature range of 5 to 28 degrees Celsius.

AbstractMonomolecular films at the air-water interface can be investigated on the subnanometer scale with grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) using synchrotron radiation. This surface semsitive technique utilizes the property of total external reflection of X-rays from a water surface : an evanescent wave generated within the film diffracts in the surface plane giving an image of the film reciprocal lattice. Three applications of GIXD are presented ranging from poorly to highly crystalline thin films. (i) Cholesteryl-L-glutamate forms a crystalline monolayer at the air-water interface within which the glutamate moieties are not closely packed. This system specifically incorporates hydrophobic amino acids from the subphase. (ii) Long-chain cholesteryl esters deposited on the water surface spontaneously self assemble, forming crystalline interdigitated bilayers. The molecular structure, solved at the atomic resolution, was found to be similar to the 3D counterpart. (iii) According to 2-D diffraction theory, the shape of Bragg peaks is related to the mechanical constants of the film. Rigidity of the film can be deduced from a detailed peak analysis for secondary short chain alcohols showing a softening of the monolayer close to melting.
