TY - JOUR ID - prasad06 L3 - citeulike-article-id:1676532 N2 - We study the spatially correlated motions of colloidal particles in a quasi-2D system (human serum albumin protein molecules at an air-water interface) for different surface viscosities s. We observe a transition in the behavior of the correlated motion, from 2D interface dominated at high s to bulk fluid dependent at low s.
