Overlayer-induced ordering of the disordered surface monolayer in Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 X-ray scattering results from Langmuir-Blodgett thin films demonstrate that the surface monolayer at the multilayer-air interface is disordered and that ordering of the surface monolayer can be induced by the deposition of an additional monolayer. The data was analysed by a novel refinement technique which does not assume a centrosymmetric structure or the existence of a unit cell. J. Physique 47 (1986) 1849-1855 OCTOBRE 1986,

Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic phenylene ethynylene oligomers and their Langmuir-Blodgett films.
We report the synthesis of a series of amphiphilic molecular building blocks that can be self-assembled at the air-water interface to form two- and three-dimensional nanostructures with tunable optoelectronic properties. Compression of these molecular building blocks using the Langmuir-Blodgett method gives rise to monolayer and multilayer thin films with different packing densities and electro...
متن کاملTuning the peak position of subwavelength silica nanosphere broadband antireflection coatings
Subwavelength nanostructures are considered as promising building blocks for antireflection and light trapping applications. In this study, we demonstrate excellent broadband antireflection effect from thin films of monolayer silica nanospheres with a diameter of 100 nm prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method on glass substrates. With a single layer of compact silica nanosphere thin film coated on...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Layer - by - Layer Assembly : From Biomimetics to Tissue
In the second half of the 20th century, scientists have been attracted to the design of thin solid films at the molecular level because of their potential for applications in the fields of biology and medicine. Two techniques dominated research in this area: Langmuir–Blodgett deposition and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Both Langmuir–Blodgett deposition, invented by Langmuir and Blodgett, a...
متن کاملCharacterization of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers and their use in metal–insulator–metal tunnel devices
The characterization of Langmuir-Blodgett thin films of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PDA) and their use in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) devices were studied. The Langmuir monolayer behavior of the PDA film was studied at the air/water interface using surface tension-area isotherms of polymeric and monomeric PDA. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB, vertical deposition) and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS, horizontal de...
متن کاملDepth profiling of Langmuir-Blodgett films with a buckminsterfullerene probe.
Bombardment with C60+ primary ions of monolayer and multilayer barium arachidate Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films is investigated. The behavior of cluster versus atomic (Ga+) bombardment is monitored by the barium-cationized arachidate ion (mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 449) and a characteristic fragment ion (m/z 209) using 1-, 7-, and 15-layer model systems. The removal rate of material from the film...
