Since Metallo-Porphyrin (MP) is very interesting compound due to its unique electronic and redox properties and it is also chemically and thermally stable, MP has been studied for potential memory and switching devices. In this study, thin films of 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis-Octadecyloxymethylphenyl-Porphyrin-Zn(II) were prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and characterized by using UV/vis absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the proper transfer surface pressure for film deposition was 25 mN/m and the limiting area per molecule was 135 ${\AA}^2$/molecule. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of these films were investigated. Further details on the electrical properties of Porphyrin-Zn(II) derivative films will be discussed.

We are investigated to an electrochemical characteristic for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films by cyclic voltammetry method. The phospholipid compound was deposited by using the LB method on the Indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. We tried to measure the electrochemical by using cyclic voltammetry with three-electrode system(an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode) in 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 N $NaClO_4$ solution. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential -1350 mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV. As a result, LB films of the phospholipid compounds are appeared irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. The diffusivity(D) effect of LB films decreased with increasing of phospholipid compound amount.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) 초박막 MIM구조의 소자에서 직류전압이 발생된다는 것은 이미 잘 알려져 있다. 발생전압의 원인은 LB막과 전극사이의 어떤 화학반응에 의한 것으로 보고되었다. 본 논문에서는 1986년에 제작되어 공기중에 방치된 LB 초박막 시료를 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제작 당시와 동일한 크기의 전압이 발생하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이때 LB막과 전극의 두께는 각각 20~30.angs. 및 2000.angs.정도이었다.

Metallo-phthalocyanines(MPcs) are very sensitive to toxic molecules such as electron affinitive NO2 gas and also chemically and thermally stable since losts of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemcial gas sensors for $NO_2$ using their electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa-dodecyloxy copper -phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method and characterized by using UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. It was found that the proper transfer surface pressure for the film deposition was 25mN/m and the limiting area per molecule was $112\AA$/molecule. The film thickness of one layer was $64\AA$. Current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films were investigated as a function of film thickness.

Electrical properties of both a monolayer at the air/water interface and Langmuir-Blodgett films sandwiched between aluminum electrodes are studied using a current-measuring technique. A change in induced charges on an electrode suspended in the air was measured in combination with the surface area isotherm in the electrical measurement of the monolayer. A change in induced charges on an electrode is measured while heating the sample in the electrical measurement of the LB films. From both measurements, we elucidated that a spontaneous polarization plays very important role in the electrical properties of both a monolayer at the air/water interface and LB films sandwiched between aluminum electrodes.

Ultra-thin films of organic charge transfer complex were prepared on a hydrophilic substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. In this study, the photoelectric properties of a LB film consisting of (N-docosyl quinolinium)-TCNQ(1:2) complex was investigated. The visible light(${\lambda}$ : 700 nm) of xenon lamp was illuminated on the LB films and light absorptivity and photoconductivity were observed. The photocurrent increased linearly and was saturated at the light intensity of 23 ${\mu}W/cm^{2}$.

Langmuir-Blodgett technique offers a convenient and elegant way to organic conducting systems for ultra thin films. In conducting systems based on LB films, TCNQ derivatives have been extensively studied as electron acceptor molecules in a large number of organic conducting systems.[1] A very interesting UV-visible spectra of octadecylviologen-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ was obtained from a methylenechloride and acetonitrile mixture, and from Langmuir-Blodgett films. The ESR characteristics of octadecylviologen-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ were studied to understand conducting mechanism and structure of LB films. The ESR spectra infer that the N-dococylquinolinium-TCNQ LB films has anisotropic property. But octadecylviologen-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ does not show angular dependence. As the temperature increases from 350K to 450K, the ESR signal of LB films becomes sharp. Scanning calorimetry(DSC) of octadecylviologen-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ provides the endothermic reaction temperature of the films, 340K, which corresponds to the temperature, 365K, of the new ESR signal.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) 법은 미래의 분자전자소자를 위한 가장 유력한 수단이며, 이러한 분자박막 소자는 그 성질이 분자는 배향에 영향을 박데 되므로 현재 새로운 물질을 이용하여 분자전자소자의 제작에 있어 관심을 모으고 있다. 본 연구에서는 (N-docosyl quinolinium)-TCNQ(1:2) 전하 이동 착물 LB 막의 분자 배향을 UV/vis 편광흡수 스펙트럼과 FT-IR transmission 및 reflection-absorption 스펙트럼의 흡수강도를 비교하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 그 결과 TCNQ의 transition dipole moment의 각은 약 56~58。 였으며, 알킬 고리의 경사각은 약 11.1~13。였다. 제작된 Z-형 LB 막의 표면은 고압에서 중앙 높이 차가 3~4$\AA$으로 평탄하였다.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique is the best candidate for the future molecular electronic devices. But, these molecular thin film devices require the bulk properties that are influenced by the molecular orientations. So, this is of current interest in molecular electronic device fabrications of new materials. In this study, quantitative evaluation of molecular orientation in LB films of PAAS was performed by comparing the absorption intensities of the FT-IR transmission and reflection-absorption spectra and the polarized UV/visible absorption spectra. It was found that the polar angle($\theta$) of the dipole moment is about 68$^{\circ}$and the tilting angle of the alkyl chain is about $11.5^{\circ}$ .
