Abstract

We applied a displacement current measurement technique for the study of L-${\alpha}$-dilauryl phosphatidylcholine (DLPC) monolayer. Displacement current was generated at the DLPC monolayer on the water surface, while induced by compression and expansion of the monolayer. Generation of Maxwell displacement current (MDC) was observed when surface areas per DLPC molecule were approximately $200{\AA}^2$ and $40{\AA}^2$. We investigated MDC for monolayer compression cycles, and found that MDC reached the maximum at the molecular area, which was measured right before surface pressure began to increase during compression cycles. The monolayer surface morphology of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films was characterized using atomic force microscope (AFM). As a result, we measured the result from the microscopic properties shown in the AFM images of LB films that molecules in the monolayer were in good orientations and the thickness of the monolayer ranged from 5 to 10 nm.

변위전류 측정법을 L-${\alpha}$-dilauryl phosphatidylcholine(DLPC) 단분자 막의 연구에 적용하였다. 변위전류는 물 표면에서 DLPC 단분자 층에서 압축과 확장에 의해 발생되었다. 맥스웰 변위전류(MDC) 발생은 분자 당 점유면적 $200{\AA}^2$ 에서 $40{\AA}^2$에 대하여 관찰하였다. 맥스웰 변위전류는 단분자 층의 압축 사이클에 대해 조사하였으며, MDC의 최대 값은 압축 사이클의 표면 압력이 처음 상승하기 바로 직전의 분자당 점유면적에서 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. LB막의 단분자층 표면 형태는 원자힘 현미경(AFM)으로 측정하였다. 결과적으로, AFM 이미지에 나타난 LB막의 특성은 단분자 층의 배향이 좋았으며 단분자 층의 두께는 약 5~10 nm였다.
