SEIRAS Studies of Water Structure in a Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Film Adsorbed at a Gold Electrode Surface
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Surface-enhanced infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) was used to investigate the structure of water that is incorporated within a film of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) adsorbed at a thin gold nanoparticle film deposited onto a silicon substrate. Previous studies on a Au(111) electrode surface showed that SDS molecules form long-range ordered hemicylindrical hemimicelles (phase I) for potentials -0.2 ≤ E ≤ 0.45 V vs Ag/AgCl and a disordered bilayer (phase II) for potentials E ≥ 0.5 V vs Ag/AgCl. The SEIRA spectra demonstrated that the hemimicellar film is water-rich and contains both a network of hydrogen-bonded water and a disturbed network of hydrogen bonds consisting of monomeric and dimeric water in the hydrophobic region of the film. No network water was observed in phase II of the film. However, SEIRAS data showed that sulfate groups in the disordered bilayer are hydrated. The SEIRAS spectra of the film of SDS were compared to the previously measured spectra obtained using subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS). The complementarity of the spectroscopic information obtained by these two techniques was demonstrated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
