Effect of an electric field on a floating lipid bilayer: a neutron reflectivity study [PDF]
We present here a neutron reflectivity study of the influence of an alternative electric field on a supported phospholipid double bilayer. We report for the first time a reproducible increase of the fluctuation amplitude leading to the complete unbinding

Unification of bulk and interface electroresistive switching in oxide systems [PDF]
We demonstrate that the physical mechanism behind electroresistive switching in oxide Schottky systems is electroformation, as in insulating oxides. Negative resistance shown by the hysteretic current-voltage curves proves that impact ionization is at ...

Electroformation of Giant Vesicles on a Polymer Mesh
Electroformation of cell-sized lipid membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs) from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine under applied electric voltage was examined on a substrate of a polymer mesh placed between two planar indium tin oxide coated glass electrodes.

Investigating Unipolar Switching in Niobium Oxide Resistive Switches: Correlating Quantized Conductance and Mechanism [PDF]
Memory devices based on resistive switching (RS) have not been fully realised due to lack of understanding of the underlying switching mechanisms. Nature of ion transport responsible for switching and growth of conducting filament in transition metal ...

Active Membrane Fluctuations Studied by Micropipet Aspiration [PDF]
We present a detailed analysis of the micropipet experiments recently reported in J-B. Manneville et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4356--4359 (1999), including a derivation of the expected behaviour of the membrane tension as a function of the areal strain ...

Formation of Oligovesicular Vesicles by Micromanipulation
Cell-sized lipid bilayer membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs) or semi-vesicles were formed from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine on a platinum electrode under applied electric voltage by electroformation.

From supported membranes to tethered vesicles: lipid bilayers destabilisation at the main transition [PDF]
We report results concerning the destabilisation of supported phospholipid bilayers in a well-defined geometry. When heating up supported phospholipid membranes deposited on highly hydrophilic glass slides from room temperature (i.e.

Electroformation of Particulate Emulsions Using Lamellar and Nonlamellar Lipid Self-Assemblies.
We report on the development of an electroformation technique for the preparation of particulate (particle-based) emulsions. These oil-in-water (here, lipid phase acts as an "oil") emulsions were prepared using nonlamellar lipid phases.
