Neutron reflectometry analysis of CaCl2-enhanced h-DMPC/d-IPA SALB formation, demonstrating organic solvent detection capabilities in both head and tail bilayer regions. The upper panel displays reflectivity profiles for duplicate measurements, with experimental data and MixedSlab model fits demonstrating enhanced coverage and coverage reproducibility. The lower panel presents SLD profiles, revealing detailed bilayer architectures with quantitative organic solvent detection in both head and tail regions. The enhanced neutron contrast from the h-DMPC/d-IPA combination enables the determination of solvent incorporation throughout the bilayer structure. Calcium chloride mediated solvent exchange results in an improved formation reproducibility.
