摘要
We present a temperature dependent x-ray reflectivity study of highly oriented, fully hydrated multilamellar phospholipid membranes. Both the specular and diffuse (nonspecular) x-ray reflectivity were measured for dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine (DMPC) and oleoyl-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine (POPC) on silicon substrates in excess water. In this configuration the repeat distance as well as the fluctuation spectra can be determined as a function of temperature. Both model systems studied exhibit a discontinuous unbinding transition from a substrate bound, multilamellar state to a state of freely dispersed bilayers in water. In the unbound phase a single membrane remains on the substrate.
