Direct measurement of critical nucleus size in confined volumes (2007)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Nicholson, C., & Cooper, S. (2007). Direct measurement of critical nucleus size in confined volumes. Langmuir, 23(13), 7286-7292. https://doi.org/10.1021/la063650a

In crystallization, the critical nucleus size is of pivotal importance. Above this size, it is favorable for the new crystalline phase to form; below this size, the clusters will tend to dissolve rather than grow. To date, there has been no direct me...

Adsorption kinetics in binary surfactant mixtures studied with external reflection FTIR spectroscopy (2007)
Journal Article
Day, J., Campbell, R., Russell, O., & Bain, C. (2007). Adsorption kinetics in binary surfactant mixtures studied with external reflection FTIR spectroscopy. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 111(25), 8757-8774. https://doi.org/10.1021/jp067051o

The adsorption kinetics of mixtures of soluble surfactants at the air-water interface was studied on an overflowing cylinder. Vibrational spectra of the adsorbed monolayers were acquired by external reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,...

A microscopic model for the behavior of nanostructured organic photovoltaic devices (2007)
Journal Article
Marsh, R., Groves, C., & Greenham, N. (2007). A microscopic model for the behavior of nanostructured organic photovoltaic devices. Journal of Applied Physics, 101(8), Article 083509. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2718865

We present a Monte Carlo model of carrier separation and recombination in nanostructured organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices which takes into account all electrostatic interactions, energetic disorder, and polaronic effects. This permits a detailed an... Read More about A microscopic model for the behavior of nanostructured organic photovoltaic devices.

Emulsion-templated porous materials (PolyHIPEs) for selective ion and molecular recognition and transport: applications in electrochemical sensing (2007)
Journal Article
