Alignment of Worm-like Micelles at Intermediate and High Shear Rates

February 1, 2020
Author(s)
Brisa Arenas-Gomez, Cristina Garza, Yun Liu, Rolando Castillo
Hypothesis. Rheology combined with Small Angle Neutron Scattering (Rheo-SANS) can determine the local structural order in Worm-like Micelle (WLM) solutions, when the shear rate increases beyond the ending of the gradient shear banding, where the micellar

Dynamic Equivalence between Soft Star Polymers and Hard Spheres

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Zhe Wang, Antonio Faraone, Panchao Yin, Lionel Porcar, Yun Liu, Changwoo Do, Kunlun Hong, Wei-Ren Chen
We measure a series of star polymer dispersions to study the dynamics of soft colloidal liquids. We find that as the concentration increases, the slowing of the long-time self-diffusivity of the star polymer, normalized by the short-time self-diffusivity

Orientational Distribution Function of Aligned Elongated Molecules and Particulates Determined from Their Scattering Signature

October 15, 2019
Author(s)
Guan-Rong Huang, Yangyang Wang, Changwoo Do, Yuya Shinohara, Takeshi Egami, Lionel Porcar, Yun Liu, Wei-Ren Chen
We present a strategy for quantitatively evaluating the field-induced alignment of non-spherical particles using small angle scattering techniques. The orientational distribution function (ODF) is determined from the anisotropic scattering intensity via

Quantification of a PbCl x Shell on the Surface of PbS Nanocrystals

August 5, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel W. Winslow, Yun Liu, James W. Swan, William A. Tisdale
Differences between the properties of PbS nanocrystals prepared using a large excess of PbCl 2 and those prepared using other Pb sources have led to speculation that a thin PbCl x shell may be present on the surface of PbCl 2-derived PbS nanocrystals

Characterization of Colloidal Nanocrystal Surface Structure using Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Efficient Bayesian Parameter Estimation

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel W. Winslow, Wenbi Shcherbakov-Wu, Yun Liu, William A. Tisdale, James W. Swan
Complete structural characterization of colloidal nanocrystals is challenging due to rapid variation in the electronic, vibrational, and elemental properties across the nanocrystal surface. while electron microscopy and X-ray scattering techniques can

In Situ Characterization of the Microstructural Evolution of Biopharmaceutical Solid-State Formulations with Implications for Protein Stability

January 7, 2019
Author(s)
Stijn H.S. Koshari, Purnendu K. Nayak, Shalini Burra, Isidro E. Zarraga, Karthikan Rajagopal, Yun Liu, Norman J. Wagner, Abraham M. Lenhoff
Lyophilized and spray-dried biopharmaceutical formulations are used to provide long-term stability for storage and transport, but questions remain about the molecular structure in these solid formulations and how this structure may be responsible for

The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics of biological systems on multiple scales of length and time. Pursuant to an NSF-funded workshop in February 2018, we review recent developments in this field as
