    Notes: We prepared a rod-like amphiphile with a molecular recognition end group, α-helical and hydrophobic poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate) (PMG) containing hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin (CyD) as an active end group (PMG-CyD), and formed its monolayer at the n-hexane/water interface. The interfacial pressure (π)-area (A) isotherms of the monolayer showed that α-helix rod of PMG-CyD could be vertically oriented at the oil/water interface, facing the hydrophilic terminal CyD group to the water phase, by increasing the interfacial concentration of the polypeptide. Under the condition 2-p-toludinyl-naphthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS), an intimate guest molecule for the CyD in water was introduced into the water phase beneath the monolayer. Within a minute the monolayer began to oscillate which could be monitored by the rhythmic response of the interfacial pressure of the monolayer. The oscillation continued over ten minutes and then terminated. The mode of the oscillation was found to change with time, i.e., the initial stage showing a periodic sharp reduction in the interfacial pressure (period I), the second stage having sharp increase in the π value (period II), and the last stage of irregular oscillations (period III). The Fourier analysis of each period also supported the three stages during the oscillatory process. It was also found that when the α-helix rod of PMG-CyD lay down in the monolayer, the guest TNS did not induce any changes in the interfacial tension. This nonlinear rhythmic interfacial phenomenon was explained in terms of the periodic movement of the PMG-CyD monolayer resulting from the binding and releasing of the guest TNS across the oil/water interface. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An atomic force microscope with a high-resolution three-axis laser interferometer for real-time correction of distorted topographic images has been constructed and investigated. With this apparatus, standard samples for a scanning probe microscope can be directly calibrated on the basis of stabilized wavelength of He–Ne lasers. The scanner includes a three-sided mirror block as a mobile target mirror for the interferometer, which realizes a rectangular coordinate system. The position coordinates of the sample is independently and simultaneously acquired with high-resolution (0.04 nm) X/Y/Z interferometer units and fed back for XY servo scanning and height image construction. The probe is placed on the sample surface at the intersection of the three optical axes of the interferometer with good reproducibility, so that the Abbe error caused by the rotation of the scanner is minimized. Image distortion in the XY plane and vertical overshoot/undershoot due to nonlinear motion of piezo devices, hysteresis, and creep are eliminated. The optical properties of the interferometers, mechanical characteristics of the scanner, and system performances in dimensional measurements for calibration standards are demonstrated. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
