  3. 2. GIANT UNILAMELLAR VESICLES FOR PEPTIDE-MEMBRANE INTERACTION STUDIES USING FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biofysik och bioteknik

    Author : Martin Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Giant unilamellar vesicles; Lipid rafts; Fluorescence microscopy; Drug delivery;

    Abstract : Vesicles are a type of biological or biomimetic particle consisting of one or more often spherical bilayers made up of amphipathic molecules, creating a closed system. They can function as an encapsulating device, holding hydrophilic molecules on the inside of the bilayer membrane(s) or hydrophobic molecules in the non-polar interstitial space in the middle of the bilayers.

  4. 3. The influence of molecular structure of phospholipids on the transition from micelles to bilayers in bile salt surfactant/phospholipid mixtures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Zeyneb Alkademi; [2020]
    Keywords : phospholipids; micelles; bilayers; bile salt; surfactant;

    Abstract : Phospholipid molecules self-assemble to form bilayers that are poorly soluble in an aqueous solvent. Phospholipids may, however, be readily dissolved by mixing with a bile salt or amphiphilic drug surfactant that forms mixed surfactant/phospholipid micelles. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigation of magnetic order in nickel-5d transition metal systems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Konstantinos Papadopoulos; [2019]
    Keywords : muSR; muons; skyrmions; magnetism; transition; spin; rotation; relaxation; resonance; thin; films; transition; metals; MBE; sputtering; XRR; reflectivity; molecular; beam; epitaxy; x; ray; TRIUMF; double; perovskite; longitudinal; transverse; nickel; Ni; asymmetry; positron; depolarization; chiral; lattice; helical; DM; interaction;

    Abstract : Double perovskite materials exhibit alterations in magnetic order through manipulation oftheir crystal structure. Certain ultra thin metallic bilayers can create an exotic magnetic stateof confined spin textures called skyrmions. In both cases, new atomic arrangements leadto new electrical and magnetic properties. READ MORE

  6. 5. Finite-size effect in CoAlZr/AlZr multilayers

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Fredrik Backer-Meurke; [2018]
    Keywords : Magnetism; thin film; Co; AlZr; Magnetic materials;

    Abstract : The structural and magnetic properties of amorphous Cox(Al80Zr20)1-x multilayers with varying thicknesses of the magnetic bilayers have been investigated. The reduction of the thickness causes a reduction of the critical temperature, Tc, this is known as the finite-size effect. READ MORE
