Role of the surface layer of aqueous subphase in the self-organization mechanism of metal sulfide textures under a Langmuir monolayer

The structural self-organization mechanism of the axial textures of the metal sulfide nanocrystals from an aqueous subphase under a condensed Langmuir monolayer of fatty acid molecules, with allowance for the existence of a thin structured water surface layer on the aqueous subphase surface, is considered.
