摘要
We present a quantitative study of the two-dimensional dendritic growth of liquid-condensed domains observed by fluorescence microscopy in Langmuir monolayers of D-myristoyl alanine. The geometrical analysis of the dendrite tip region shows that the predicted relationship rho2V/d0D =const (V is the tip growth velocity, rho the tip curvature radius, d0 the capillary length, and D the diffusion coefficient) is reasonably verified. The determination of this constant yields an estimate of the line tension anisotropy.
