Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential (2010)
Journal Article
Brukhno, A., Akinshina, A., Coldrick, Z., Nelson, A., & Auer, S. (2011). Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential. Soft Matter, 7(3), 1006-1017. https://doi.org/10.1039/C0SM00724B

We model cyclic voltammetry experiments on supported lipid films where a non-trivial dependence of the capacitance on the applied voltage is observed. Previously, based on a mean-field treatment of the Flory–Huggins type, under the assumption of stro... Read More about Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential.
