Figure 3

Schematic representation of a proposed model for the cross-linked lipid/pyrite surface. UV irradiation leads to the cross-linking (indicated by dashed line) and the stabilization of the lipid layer compared to the lipid layer without UV exposure. Whether a bilayer structure forms at the pyrite surface cannot be ascertained from the experimental results.
