Theory of Light Scattering from Fluctuations of Membranes and Monolayers

TL;DR: In this article, general linear viscoelastic response relations are used to obtain the long-wavelength fluctuations of a thin membrane separating two viscous fluids, and the intensity and spectrum of coherent light scattered inelastically from thermal fluctuations are calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser heterodyne apparatus for measurements of liquid surface properties—Theory and experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus has been developed, which measures the laser light scattering from thermally excited surface capillary waves of liquids such measurements do not cause any mechanical or thermal disturbances of the surface under study (a low power cw He•Ne laser is used) This is especially important in the study of film-covered surfaces which are biologically interesting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast adsorption at the liquid-gas interface

TL;DR: A brief survey of the history of adsorption kinetics studies and a short discussion of some general ideas concerning surfactant transfer from the bulk phase to the surface layer can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the liquid–vapor interface of mercury: Computer simulation results

TL;DR: In this article, a modified pseudoatom model, with an improved treatment of the metal-nonmetal transition, is presented, which reveals a highly structured liquid-vapor transition zone, with large amplitude density oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate determination of liquid viscosity and surface tension using surface light scattering (SLS): Toluene under saturation conditions between 260 and 380 K

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved data evaluation scheme based on an exact description of the hydrodynamic capillary wave problem for a liquid-vapor interface has been applied, and the maximum adjustments amount to 0.9 and 0.6% for the liquid kinematic viscosity and surface tension, respectively.
