• discussed below. Zeta potentials of MspA-vesicles as functions of temperature and ionic strength To study the charge of the MspA vesicles as a function of temperature, we performed a series of zeta-potential measurements by electrophoretic light scattering [31]. The zeta potential is the electric potential

• high values are in contrast to the values reported for studies of adsorbates on metals [20][21]. On these systems, the electric potential is fixed at the surface of the metal, at a microscopic distance from the tip. The situation is radically different on thick insulators, in which case the potential

• . Experimental ZnO nanorods were grown on an indium doped tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate, on which ZnO nanocrystallites as seeds were pre-prepared via an electrophoretic deposition. Typically, the ITO substrate was immersed in a 0.5 M zinc nitrate (Fisher Scientific Corp., USA), and an electric potential of 2.5
