  abstract  = {The search for alternative routes of organic thin film formation is stimulated by the outstanding properties of these films in such fields as nonlinear optics, photonic data processing and molecular electronics. 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.},

  abstract  = {Two basic morphologies of emeraldine base of polyaniline-transition metal salt complex films cast from N- methylpyrrolidinone solutions are described. The first morphology consists of grains and the other consists of loose aggregates, respectively. The correlation of the film morphology with formation of precipitate in the complex solution, kinetics of solvent evaporation from the cast film, amount of solvent entrapped in the film, film conductivity, and IR absorption spectra is shown. Two different mechanisms of the complex formation as a result of competition in the polymer- inorganic salt-solvent trio interactions are discussed; the first mechanism results in folding of macromolecules into compact coils being then a core of grains in the complex films, and the second mechanism leads to blending of the polymer chains with solvent giving rise to formation of loose aggregates.

  abstract  = {Organic materials have received considerable attention because of their large dipole moments and optical nonlinearities. The optically induced switching of material properties is important for studying the optoelectronic effects including second harmonic generation. Organic materials for photonic applications contain chromophore dipole which consist of acceptor and donor groups bridged by a delocalized pi-electron system. Both theoretical and experimental data show a reversible highly dipolar photoinduced intra molecular charge transfer in betaine type molecules accompanied by change of the sign and the value of the dipole moment. The arrangement of polar molecules in films is studied both by atom force microscopy and surface potential measurements. To understand the photo response of these materials, their spectroscopic and electrical properties are studied. The morphology and photoinduced surface potential switching of the self-assembled monolayers and polymer films are investigated. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved},

Novel polar oligomer with N-(indan-1,3-dion-2-yl)pyridinium betaine (IPB) as a side group is studied. Orientation of polar groups in oligomer thin films causes an increase of the photo-induced change of surface potential on irradiation in the region of photo-induced electron transfer (PIET) where the IPB group exhibits a reversible change of the value and sign of the dipole moment. At longer wavelengths, the value of the surface potential of the oligomer may be determined by transport of photo-generated charge carriers},

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.},
