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 …

The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines
ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of …

The properties of soft-matter thin films (eg liquid films, polymer coatings, Langmuir-Blodgett
multilayers) nowadays play an important role in materials science. They are also very …

Grazing incidence X-ray techniques are now widely used for surface and thin film analysis.
The present article overviews the recent advancement since 1993 of the grazing incidence X …

Liquid–vapour interfaces, particularly those involving water, are common in both natural and
artificial environments. They were first described as regions of continuous variation of …

We report x-ray reflectivity (XR) and small-angle off-specular diffuse-scattering (DS)
measurements from the surface of liquid indium close to its melting point of 156 C. From the …

Liquid droplets, widely encountered in everyday life, have no flat facets. Here we show that
water-dispersed oil droplets can be reversibly temperature-tuned to icosahedral and other …

Emulsions, microemulsions, and foams are dispersions of two immiscible fiuids stabilized by
surface-active species. Emulsions and microemulsions are dispersions usually made with …

X-ray scattering investigations of surfaces and interfaces in soft-condensed matter are
reviewed. Both high-resolution structural determinations in the direct space and …

We have investigated the small-scale structure of the liquid-vapor interface using
synchrotron x-ray scattering for liquids with different molecular structures and interactions …
