Abstract

We demonstrate that the surface potential of charged liposomes can be determined by second harmonic generation. The Gouy-Chapman model is used to describe the electric double layer. From the experimental data, we obtained the surface charge density and the surface potential of liposomes consisting of the negatively charged phospholipid dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol. The surface potential was found to be in the range of 20-100 mV depending on the concentration and valence of the electrolyte (NaCl or MgSO₄) in solution. The charge density was found to be ∼1.3 × 10¹⁴ per cm², corresponding to ∼70 Å²/charge, which is comparable to the area per phospholipid headgroup.
