The relative adsorption strengths of chemisorbed methanol and water vary with the TiO2 surface structures and the ad- sorption sites. This leads to TiO2 surface structure-dependent competitive adsorption of water and methanol. The chemisorption of CH3OH on TiO2 anatase (001)-(1 × 4) surface is seldom affected by pre-covered water at low cov- erages but is affected by pre-covered water at high coverages; the chemisorption of CH3OH on TiO2 rutile (110) surface is seldom affected by pre-covered water; and the chemisorption of CH3OH on TiO2 rutile (011)-(2 × 1) sur- face is affected by pre-covered water even at low coverages. These results deepen the fundamental understandings of surface chemistry on TiO2 surfaces.展开更多

The superdislocations are strongly attracted to the disordered particles and dissociate on the (111) plane in the γ particles, while they dissociate on the (010) plane in the γ' matrix. The disordered γ precipitates play an important role as a pinning point during the cross-slip of superdislocations from (111) to (010) planes in the γ matrix and restrain the cross-slip of superdislocations. The interaction of superdislocations with disordered particles causes the formation of superkinks, jogs and closed loops.展开更多

Here we present a simple me- chanics model of this phenomenon in which the attraction between integrins is mediated by the long-range elastic deformation of the membrane and the repulsive layer. We obtain analytical solutions to the problem by employing the small deformation theory of an infinitely extended plate resting on an elastic foundation.展开更多

The change of structure and function of lipid rafts could result in many diseases. In this work, the monolayer miscibility behavior of mixed systems of Egg-Sphingomyelin (ESM) with 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was in- vestigated in terms of mean surface area per molecule and excess molecular area AAex at certain surface pressure, surface pressure and excess surface pressure Arcex at certain mean molecular area. The stability and compressibility of the mixed monolayers was assessed by the parameters of surface excess Gibbs free energy AGex, excess Helmholtz energy AHex and elasticity. Thermodynamic analysis indicates AAex and ATrex in the binary systems with positive deviations from the ideal behavior, suggesting repulsive interaction. The max- imum of AGex and AHex was at the molar fraction of ESM of 0.6, demonstrating the mixed monolayer was more unstable. The repulsive interaction induced phase separation in the monolayer.展开更多
