What large-scale facilities have taught us about the Liquid-Liquid Interface

Orateur : Robert DRYFE (University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK)

The molecular scale structure of the liquid-liquid interface has been an enduring topic of interest for scientists from various domains. Advances in computation have provided insights into local structure and dynamics at this interface, but such advances require parallel developments in relevant experimental techniques. Neutron reflection has played a part here, along with X-ray scattering. Our own efforts have centred on the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy to probe dynamic processes, specifically metal nucleation and growth, at the liquid-liquid interface. Electrochemical methods present the ideal way to "trigger" growth in a synchrotron-based environment : this talk will describe how the electrified interface can be used to understand the liquid-liquid interface in general".
