Maxwell displacement current(MDC) was generated when the area per molecule was about 140${\AA}$$^2$and 100${\AA}$$^2$. MDC were investigated in connection with monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles. The absorption spectra of polyamic acid containing p-methoxyazobenzene in a mixture of N,N-dimethylacetamide(DMAc) and benzene(1:1 by volume) solution was induced photoisomerization by UV and visible light irradiation. The precursor LB film was heated in a vacuum dry oven at 120$^{\circ}C$ in order to convert it into the LB film of polyimide. The absorption spectra of LB films were also induced photoisomerization by UV and visible light irradiation.

아조벤젠 (Azobenzene)은 광스위치분자 소자로서 빛에 의해 분자의 구조가 바뀌는 성질을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성은 전류를 적절히 조절하는 온/오프 기능의 수행 가능성을 제시한다. 빛의 파장에 따라 두 벤젠 고리를 연결하는 원자들 (CNNC)의 광학여기상태가 달라지며, 그 결과로 CNNC 각도의 변화가 나타난다. 이는 아조벤젠 구조의 변화를 가져오며, 크게 cis-, trans-(CNNC 각도 기준으로 각각 $0^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$)로 나눠진다. 이 연구에서는 LCAO-DFT 제일원리 계산을 이용하여, CNNC 각도에 따른 분자 구조의 변화와 안정성을 바닥상태($S_0$)와 광학여기상태($S{\text\tiny{1}},n{\grave{a}}{\pi}^*$)로 나누어 살펴보았다. 그 결과 바닥상태에서는 trans-구조가 가장 안정하였고, 광학여기상태에서는 CNNC 각도가 $90^{\circ}$ 부근에서 가장 안정한 구조를 가졌다. 또한, 바닥상태에서는 cis-, trans-사이에 에너지 장벽이 있는 반면 광학여기상태에서는 에너지 장벽이 없음을 관찰하였다.

There are many methods to investigate the physical properties of monolayers formed at the air-water interface. Among them, the displacement current method is appropriate for the investigation of the dynamic behavior of monolayers. The measuring system of displacement current method was constructed at home-made Kuhn type LB deposition apparatus using aluminium plate electrode. The currents induced by the dynamic motion of molecules were measured when the molecules were pressed by barrier. To verify the measuring system, we used 4-octyl -4'-(5-carboxy-pentamethyleneoxy)-azobenzene molecules which has two remarkable variations of surface pressure of monolayer at the air-water interface. We can detect the two peaks of displacement currents which shows that the orientations of molecules are changed greatly at the state of these two remarkable changes of surface pressure.

The Maxwell displacement current was generated from 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxyl-pentamethyleneoxy)- azobenzene (denoted as 8A5H) monolayer Langmuir-Blodgett films prepared on Cr/Au-coated glass substrates due to trans-cis photoisomerization of 8A5H by application of alternate irradiation with UV light and Visible light. The displacement current was generated due to the trans-to-CIS photoisomerization by irradiation with ultraviolet light($\lambda_1$=360nm). Whereas the displacement current was generated in the opposite direction due to the cis-to-trans photoisomerization by photoirradiation with visible light($\lambda_2$=450nm). Finally, We concluded that Displacement current change according to power capacity photoirradiation, the more higher generate the more higher power capacity magnitude.

We investigated UV-vis absorbances to observe photoisimerization and effect of temperature using the mixture solution in chloroform and the LB monolayer mixed with DLPE and 8A5H containing azobenzene which shows reversible cis-trans isomerization irradiated by alternate lights. We could find that the absorption spectrum of the mixtures solution and LB monolayer was reversibly induced to photoisomerization irradiated by Uv of both and visible lights, in addition the absorbance by alternate temperatures.

We have investgated on the monolayer LB film of BASH-DMPC mixture on an ITO for the photoisomerization by light irradiation. We measured electrochemical properties by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode in $NaClO_4$ solution at a variable concentration and monolayer LB films. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rate were 50, 100, 150 and 200 mV/s. As a results, LB films of 8A5H-DMPC appeared reversible process caused by the reduction-oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram.

The new substituent constants $({\sigma}^{\ast})$ are calculated from the acidity constants $(pK^{\ast})$ of phenol derivatives in the excited state ($^1L_b$). These substituent constant are applied to the Hammett equations and found good correlation with $pK^{\ast}$ of 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol, benzamide, nitroaniline, thiophenol, azobenzene, and benzoic acid derivatives. The correlation was much better than that of ground state substituent constants such as ${\sigma},\;{\sigma}^+$, and ${\sigma}^-$. From these results, the new substituent constants $({\sigma}^{\ast})$are proposed to be used for the linear free energy relationship in the $^1({\pi},{\pi}^{\ast})$ excited states of phenyl compounds.

We synthesized the simple triethoxysilanes (SGDR1) bearing a disperse red 1 for thin film fabrication. The thin films were prepared using the solution of SGDR1 after hydrolysis and condensation. The films were annealed at two different temperatures such as $150^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$. Trans-to-cis photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of 532 nm light with UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The kinetic study of photoisomerization was performed in the film. Reorientation of the polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532 nm. The effect of aggregation of the chromophores and annealing of the silicon oxide in the matrix were studied on the dynamic properties of isomerization and induced birefringence.

The electrochemistry of benzidine and hydrazobenzene was studied in water-acetonitrile mixed solutions at various pHs and the results are reported. The cyclic voltammetric peak for the oxidation of benzidine shows a pH dependency of -62 mV/pH in the pH range of 0-3.5, no pH dependency between pH values of 3.5 and about 10.5, and of about -50 mV/pH between pH=10.50 and 14.0, indicating that oxidation mechanisms differ depending on the pH of the medium. However, the CV peak for the hydrazobenzene oxidation is shown to be independent of pH of the medium, suggesting that the proton is not involved in the rate limiting step of the electrochemical oxidation of hydrazobenzene to azobenzene. Results of in situ spectroelectrochemical experiments indicate that the oxidation products obtained during the oxidation of benzidine and hydrazobenzene depend on the result of dynamic equilibria taking place at various pHs.

We investigated H-type molecular aggregation in a simply spin-coated amorphous homopolymer film of polymethacrylate containing push-pull azobenzene moieties. It was found that the aggregate formation was strongly influenced by thermal treatment an d that the aggregate created in the polymer film could be easily disrupted by irradiation of a linearly polarized light. In the first writing cycle of aggregated polymer film, photo-induced birefringence showed a steep increase to the highest value followed by a gradual decrease to the certain asymptotic value under longer irradiation of a linearly polarized light. This unique behavior could be attributed to the cooperative motion and the disruption of the aggregated molecules under continuous irradiation of light.
