The formation of highly ordered multilayer structures by thermal vacuum deposition (VD) of organic compounds is an essential step toward the application of supramolecular organic architectures in technical systems. The VD of an amphiphilic substituted 2,5- diphenylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole 1 onto silicon substrates at defined temperature was used for the formation of ultrathin films. The structural data obtained for the VD-films of oxadiazole 1 by means of X-ray reflectivity, X-ray grazing incidence diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations indicate the formation of well ordered oxadiazole multilayers. The structure of the VD-multilayers is compared with that of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films and thermally treated LB-multilayers prepared from the same compound.}, language = {en} } @article{ReicheZetzscheHelmsetal.1997, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Zetzsche, Thomas and Helms, Andreas and Freydank, Anke-Christine and Knochenhauer, Gerald and Schulz, Burkhard and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Organized molecular films of oxadiazole compounds formed by vacuum deposition}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{WisotzkiBeckerChristensenetal.2003, author = {Wisotzki, Lutz and Becker, Thomas and Christensen, Lise Bech and Helms, Andreas and Jahnke, Knud and Kelz, A. and Roth, Martin M. and Sanchez, Sebastian F.}, title = {Integral-field spectrophotometry of the quadruple QSO HE 0435-1223 : Evidence for microlensing}, year = {2003}, abstract = {We present the first spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of the recently discovered quadruple QSO and gravitational lens HE 0435-1223. Using the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer (PMAS), we show that all four QSO components have very similar but not identical spectra. In particular, the spectral slopes of components A, B, and D are indistinguishable, implying that extinction due to dust plays no major role in the lensing galaxy. While also the emission line profiles are identical within the error bars, as expected from lensing, the equivalent widths show significant differences between components. Most likely, microlensing is responsible for this phenomenon. This is also consistent with the fact that component D, which shows the highest relative continuum level, has brightened by 0.07 mag since Dec. 2001. We find that the emission line flux ratios between the components are in better agreement with simple lens models than broad band or continuum measurements, but that the discrepancies between model and data are still unacceptably large. Finally, we present a detection of the lensing galaxy, although this is close to the limits of the data. Comparing with a model galaxy spectrum, we obtain a redshift estimate of zlens=0.44+/- 0.02.}, language = {en} } @article{WisotzkiBeckerChristensenetal.2004, author = {Wisotzki, Lutz and Becker, Thomas and Christensen, Lise Bech and Jahnke, Knud and Helms, Andreas and Kelz, A. and Roth, Martin M. and Sanchez, Sebastian F.}, title = {Integral field spectrophotometry of gravitationally lensed QSOs with PMAS}, issn = {0004-6337}, year = {2004}, abstract = {We present spatially resolved spectrophotometric observations of multiply imaged QSOs, using the Potsdam Multi- Aperture Spectrophotometer (PMAS), with the intention to search for spectral differences between components indicative of either microlensing or dust extinction.
