Description
A planar hydrophilic interface induces particular order and orientation in amphiphilic systems that then can be observed using grazing incidence scattering methods. Different systems such as microemulsions and lipid bilayer systems are discussed, where we identified lamellar, hexagonal and other structures. Apart from structure, the dynamics of such systems also display highly interesting insight. For instance the lubrication effect of lamellar microemulsions is connected to faster dynamics, and dynamics of lipid systems can be connected to biological function and mechanisms of medications. The grazing incidence technique at neutron spin echo spectrometers (GINSES) was successfully applied at the SNS spallation source, and a first principle test of a neutron resonator with constructive interference for the evanescent wave for increased intensities has been performed.
