  • We constructed Langmuir trough for the ultra-thin films (from a few tens {{{{ ANGSTROM }}) of nonlinear optical organic materials. Surface pressure - area isotherm for the tetracosanoic acid which is a fatty acids, was recorded and Langmuir -Blodgett films was deposited using it. The homogenity was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

  • Brewster angle microscopy(BAM) makes it possible to observe the monolayer states on the water subphase and the phase transitions from a gaseous phase via a expanded phase to a condensed phase. Also BAM can be used to observe the films on the solid substrate such as Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films. In this Paper Polyamic Acid Alkylamine Salts(PAAS) was used for forming L films and LB films and $\pi$-A isotherm showed pressure of each phase. We obtained BAM images as surface pressure increased. Images of LB films were compared with data from ellipsometry which was used to measure the film thickness. Images of both L films and LB films were analyzed with computer in the point of brightness.

  • We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of functionalized polyimide. LB films of polyimide monolayer were deposited by the Langmuir-Blodgett method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by 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(0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 N) of $NaClO_4$ solution. The current of reduction and oxidation range was measured from 1650 mV to -1350 mV, continuously. The scan rates were 50, 100 and 150 mV/s, respectively. As a result, monolayer and multilayer LB films of polyimide are appeared on irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram.

  • The photoelectric responses of a biodevice consisting of chlorophyll $\alpha$ Langmuir-Blodgett film were investigated. Chlorophyll $\alpha$ Langmuir-Blodgett films were deposited onto ITO and Au coated glass. To confirm film formation, surface analysis of chlorophyll $\alpha$ Langmuir-Blodgett film was carried out by measurement using atomic force microscopy. The metal/insulator/metal structured biodevice was constructed by depositing aluminum onto the chlorophyll $\alpha$ Langmuir-Blodgett film surface. To investigate the photoelectric response, the current-voltage characteristic was measured by the conducting metal tip. The photoswitching function and transient photovoltage characteristics of the proposed device were measured by irradiation with Ar ion laser and $N_2$ pulse laser, respectively. This research suggested that the proposed biodevice consisting of chlorophyll $\alpha$ could be applied to the molecular scale biosensor and/or bioelectronic device.
