The Dynamic Structure of Micelles and Liposomes and Their Self-Fluorescence in Absence of Dye

Abstract

A self-fluorescence of micelles and liposomes in the absence of dye and high conjugated groups was discovered in the investigation of absorption and fluorescence spectra changes of aqueous solution of amphiphiles with simple chromophores. We propose the existence of flickering “frozen” ordered structures in micelles and liposomes with exciton migration and emission inside them.
