Influence of the subphase pH on the structure and stability of Langmuir-Blodgett films}, year = {1996}, abstract = {In this second paper we describe the comprehensive structure investigations on multilayers of uranyl arachidate formed by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition from subphases of different pH on solid substrates by means of a combination of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray specular reflection, ellipsometry, and scanning force microscopy, The structure of these multilayers and their stability are obviously influenced by the subphase pH. The pH range of the acid to salt conversion determined for the Langmuir films is confirmed by the infrared spectroscopic data of the multilayers. While arachidic acid films, deposited from an uranyl acetate subphase of low pH, are found to have strongly distorted rough surface, the films of uranyl structure, The influence of the counterions on the alkyl chain conformation, chain packing, reorganization probability, and stability of the multilayer is discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{Reiche1996, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Antiphase domains in Langmuir-Blodgett films}, year = {1996}, abstract = {For bilayer stacks of non-centrosymmetrical molecules, formed by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique (Y deposition), 00l peaks for the bilayer period are usually observed in the X-ray specular reflectivity curve, in this study, we show that the introduction of stacking disorder at lower transfer ratios and the subsequent partial repair of defects by a parallel shift of oppositely oriented molecules into the vacancies may result in the formation of antiphase domains and in an increase in the average monolayer symmetry followed by quenching of the bilayer peaks. The X-ray reflectivity data, obtained for multilayers of penta-alkynes, are used to demonstrate this real structural effect, which is expected to be of general importance for X-ray and neutron reflectivity data reduction and for the structural modelling of multilayers.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Reiche1996, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Beitr{\"a}ge zur Strukturaufkl{\"a}rung organischer Mono- und Multischichten}, pages = {XVII, 98 S.}, year = {1996}, language = {de} }
