1. The interactions of four proteins (albumin, myelin basic protein, melittin and glycophorin) with eight neutral or acidic glycosphingolipids, including sulphatides and gangliosides, five zwitterionic or anionic phospholipids and some of their mixtures, were studied in lipid monolayers at the air/145 mM-NaCl interface. 2. In lipid-free interfaces, the surface pressure and surface potential reached by either soluble or integral membrane proteins did not reveal marked differences. 3. All the proteins studied showed interactions with each of the lipids but the maximal interactions were found for basic proteins with acidic glycosphingolipids. 4. Surface-potential measurements indicated that different dipolar organizations at the interface can be adopted by lipid-protein interactions showing the same value for surface free energy. 5. The individual surface properties of either the lipid of protein component are modified as a consequence of the lipid-protein interaction. 6. In mixed-lipid monolayers, the composition of the interface may affect the lipid-protein interactions in a non-proportional manner with respect to the relative amount of the individual lipid components.

We demonstrated a new fabrication method of Pt- and Ni-silicide nanodots with an areal density of the order of ~1011 cm-2 on SiO2 through the process steps of ultrathin metal film deposition on pre-grown Si-QDs and subsequent remote H2 plasma treatments at room temperature. Verification of electrical separation among silicide nanodots was made by measuring surface potential changes due to electron injection and extraction using an AFM/Kelvin probe technique. Photoemission measurements confirm a deeper potential well of silicide nanodots than Si-QDs and a resultant superior charge retention was also verified by surface potential measurements after charging to and discharging. Also, the advantage in many electron storage per silicide nanodot was demonstrated in C-V characteristics of MIS capacitors with silicide nanodots FGs.
