Compression of LB films of DOPC lipid and dodecanethiol-coated 1.8 nm gold nanocrystals at a water/air interface. (A) Surface pressure-area isotherms of monolayers with varying DOPC/nanocrystal ratio. (B) Mean area per DOPC lipid/nanocrystals at 20 mN/m pressure, plotted versus Au nanocrystal mole fraction. The data (solid squares) are taken from the plots in (A) and the dashed line plots the area calculated assuming ideal mixing (Eqn (5)). (C) Illustration of the nanocrystal/lipid configurations at various pressure.
