We studied on the ultra thin L-${\alpha}$-DLPC by LB method. The $\pi$-A isotherm of the L-${\alpha}$-DLPC was measured at the air-water interface varying with the compressing speed and amounts of solutions for spreading. The molecular arrangement of deposited films were evaluated by measuring the absorption with the UVspectrometer. And we made structures of metal(Au)/L-${\alpha}$-DLPC/Metal(Au) and examined electron through L-${\alpha}$-DLPC LB films by means of current-voltage(I-V) measurement.

In this paper, we study the electrical conduction mechanism in Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra thin films for which the LB device has a metal/LB films(TCNQ)/metal sandwich structure. Our experiments show that the current at the LB device does not depend on the temperature at below 0 C. This phenomena confirm that the electrical conduction current is a tunnel current inherent to ultra thin films. However, the current depends upon the temperature near the room temperature. This phenomena indicates the electeical conduction current is a Schottky current inherent to ultra thin films.

We have made disperse diazo black D(DBD) thin films using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) and vacuum-evaporation technique. Physical and optical properties of the films were investigated. Solution was made with a concentration of $10^{-3}mol/{\ell}$ using chloroform. Moving wall apparatus, (NL-LB140S-MWC) was employed to make the LB films. X,Y and Z-type LB films were manufactured and studied UV/visible absorbance spectra and morphology of surface using atomic force microscopy(AFM). Vacuum-evaporated DB D thin films were made at a pressure of $10^{-5}$ torr. The absorption peaks were observed at 200 and 400 nm in the LB films and vacuum-deposited films. We have also studied photoluminescence spectrum of the DBD films.

This paper describes the thermally stimulated current(TSC) measurements arachidic acid(AA) and polyamic acid alkylamine salts(PAAS) LB film, which is a precursor of polyimide(PI). The measurements were performed from room temperature to about 250$^{\circ}C$ and the temperature was increased at a rate of 0.02 $^{\circ}C$/s linearly[4]. It shows that peaks of TSC are observed at about 80$^{\circ}C$ in the arachidic acid and about 80$^{\circ}C$, 160$^{\circ}C$ in the PAAS LB films. The DSC and TGA of PAAS, arachidic acid are measure. Monolayer phases on the water subphase such as Langmuir(L) films and the phase transitions from gas phase to solid phase via liquid phase are observed using Brewster angle microscopy(BAM). BAM is also used to observe the Langemuir-Blodgett(LB) films.

In this research, We fabricated Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra-thin films with (N-docosyl quinolinium)- TCNQ(1:2) complex. The characteristics ${\pi}$-A isotherms were studied to find optimum conditions of deposition by varing temperature of subphase, compression speed of barrier and amount of spreading solution. Film formation was verified by measuring transfer ratio, maximum absorption of UV-vis spectra, capacitance and ellipsometry. From the results, it was concluded that the LB film formed well with molecular oder was fabricated.

본 연구에서는 Arachidic acid Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)막의 계면특성과 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. Arachidic aicd는 포화지방산으로 ($CH_3(CH_2)_{18}COOH$)의 구조를 가지며, 크기가 27.5[$\AA$]으로 $CH_3(CH_2)_{18}$의 소수기와 COOH의 친수기로 구성되어 있다. LB막은 박막제작시 배열과 배향의 제어가 용이하다. Chloroform을 용매로 하여 2[mmol/l]의 농도를 조성하여 ${\pi}-A$ 등온선을 통해 기체 상태, 액체 상태, 고체 상태를 관찰하였으며 편광각 현미경 (Brewster angle microscopy) 이미지를 통해 각 상태에서의 이미지를 관찰하였다. 또한 LB막의 제작시 사용되어진 ITO 기판은 친수처리 전 후의 접촉각의 측정을 통하여 막의 안정성을 확인하였다. 또한 LB막을 Metal/LB막/Metal 구조의 소자로 제작하여 전압-전류 특성을 측정하였다.

We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films mixed with 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxylpentamethyleneoxy)azobenzene (denoted as 8A5H) and phospholipid(L-a-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, denoted as DMPC and L-a-dilauroylphosphayidylcholine, denoted as DLPC). The LB films of 8A5H, 8A5H-DMPC and 8A5H-DLPC mixture monolayers were deposited by using the LB method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode at various concentrations(0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mol/L) of $NaClO_4$ solution. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350 mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150 and 200 mV/s, respectively. As a result, LB films of 8A5H and 8A5H-DLPC mixture monolayers appeared irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram and LB films of 8A5H-DMPC monolayer mixture was found to be caused by a reversible oxidation-reduction process.

A copper tetracumylphenoxy phthalocyanine (CuPccp) thin film was formed on an organic insulator film by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition for gas sensor fabrication. To increase the reproducibility of film transfer, stearyl alcohol was used as a transfer promoter. The structural properties of the CuPccp layers were optically monitored through attenuated total reflection and polarization-modulated ellipsometry techniques. The average thickness of a single layer of the CuPccp LB film was measured to be 2.5 nm. Despite the role of the transfer promoter, the stability of the layer transfer was not sufficient to ensure homogeneity of the LB film. This was probably due to the presence of aggregates in the molecular structure of the CuPccp LB film. Nevertheless, copper phthalocyanine polymorphism can be greatly suppressed by the LB arrangement, which appears to contribute to the improvement of electrical conductivity. The p-type semiconductor characteristics were confirmed by Hall measurements from the CuPccp LB films.

This paper describes athermally stimulated displacement current (TSDC) of arachidic acid(AA) and polyamic acid alkylamine salts(PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films, which is a precursor of polyimide(PI). The TSDC measurements of AA LB film were performed from temperature to about 11$0^{\circ}C$ at a rate of 0.2$^{\circ}C$/ｓ inside a vacuum chamber for a reference. And the TSDC measurements PAAS LB film were performed from room temperature to about 25$0^{\circ}C$ and temperature was increased at the same rate as that of AA LB film. They show that there are TSDC peaks at about 7$0^{\circ}C$ in the arachidic acid LB films, and at about 7$0^{\circ}C$ and 16$0^{\circ}C$ in the PAAs LB films. Results of these measurements indicate the one small peak at 7$0^{\circ}C$ is resulted from a softening of the alkyl group and the large peak at 16$0^{\circ}C$ is possibly due to dipole of C-O group in the PASS molecule. We have calculated the vertical component of the AA and PAAs L film out of the TSDC curves. It shows that the dipole moment of the AA LB film is about 70-mD at 7$0^{\circ}C$. And the dipole moment of PAAS LB film is about 040mD at 7$0^{\circ}C$ and about 200mD at 16$0^{\circ}C$ in the first measurement of TSDC. In the second measurement of TSDC of PASS LB film after cooling down to room temperature, the TSDC peaks are almost disappeared.
