The optical characteristics of merocyanine dyes have been investigated widely due to their possible application to the high efficiency photo-electric devices. The optical systems are mostly fabricated using vacuum evaporation, casting and Langmuir-Blodgett method and the arrangement and orientation of dye molecules is one of the most important factors in the study on the optical characteristics. In this study, we fabricated the molecular systems through the LB techniques and investigated the optical characteristics of merocyanine dye LB film using the oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal. It was quite interesting behavior that the resistance and frequency shift at the parallel resonance under the UV irradiation.

We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films mixed with 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxylpentamethyleneoxy)azobenzene (denoted as 8A5H) and phospholipid(L-a-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, denoted as DMPC and L-a-dilauroylphosphayidylcholine, denoted as DLPC). The LB films of 8A5H, 8A5H-DMPC and 8A5H-DLPC mixture monolayers were deposited by using the LB method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured 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 at various concentrations(0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mol/L) of $NaClO_4$ solution. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350 mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150 and 200 mV/s, respectively. As a result, LB films of 8A5H and 8A5H-DLPC mixture monolayers appeared irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram and LB films of 8A5H-DMPC monolayer mixture was found to be caused by a reversible oxidation-reduction process.

An amphiphilic nitroxide radical(2,2'6,6'-tetramethyl-4-octadecyioxy-1-piperidinyloxyl, TEMOPO) or mixture of TEMOPO and arachidic acid(Icosanoic acid, AA), was spread on water surface by the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method and surface pressure-area curve was measured. Such monolayer films of TEMOPO were transferred onto surfaces of photo transferable tin oxide electrodes(PTTO) by the LB method under various surface pressure with the transfer ratio of larger than 0.95 at the surface pressure higher than 15mN/m. The electrochemical effect of functional nitroxy radical monolayer onto semi-conductive electrode to electrolyte have been investigated by using LB method. Cyclic voltammetry technique was used for the electrochemical behavior measurement of TEMOPO monolayer onto the PTTO in 0.18 mo1/$dm^3$ $H_2SO_4$ solutions. The shape of voltammograms was found to change from one electrode to another. The amount of charge for the oxidation and the re-reduction of the cation to TEMOPO were evaluated from graphical integration. The amounts of charge were always smaller than those predicted from the $\pi$-$\sigma$ curves though the transfer ratio was unity. The poor reproducibility of the cyclic voltammograms was improved by the mixing with AA. Structure and arrangement of monomolecular layer on water surface and electrode were studied. Characteristics of monolayer film applied for the mediation reaction was also discussed by electrochemical method.

The absorption spectra of synthesis of long chain fatty acid containing azobenzene start from p-(p'-hydroxy phenyl azo)-benzoic acid was investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometery in chloroform solvent at the various temperature. In addition, The pressure-area of the water-air interface was obtained and the LB film was fabricated onto a quartz slide and quartz crystal by conventional Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The UV absorption spectra of Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film on quartz slide and spectrum of monolayer formed on quartz crystal have been measured. Long chain fatty acid containing azobenzene are induced phtoisomerization by the application of u. v. and visible light irradiation alternatively the reversibility of phtoisomerization was more clear difference when the number of $C_{n}$ increased but, not so good at $C_{14}-azo$. At the pressure-area isotherms, the value of surface pressure increment were decreased when the number of $C_{n}$ increased. A surface pressure of 20mN/m was obtained as a proper one for a film deposition. The photoisomerization at LB films were induced by application of UV and visible light irradiation alternatively. So the LB film of long chain fatty acid containing azobenzene has possibility to being applied to functional molecular devices such as photomemory and light switching.

Monolayers of lipids on a water surface have attracted much interest as models of biological membranes, but also as precursors of multilayer systems promising many technical applications. Until now, many methodologies have been developed in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of the monolayers. Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measurement has been employed to study the dielectric property of Langmuir-films. MDC flowing across monolayers is analyzed using a rod-like molecular model. A linear relationship between the monolayer compression speed and the molecular area Am. Compression speed was about 30, 40, 50mm/min. Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)layers of Arachidic acid deposited by LB method were deposited onto slide glass as Y-type film. The structure of manufactured device is Au/Arachidic acid/Al, the number of accumulated layers are 9~21. Also, we then examined of the Metal-Insulator-Metal(MIM) device by means of I-V. The I-V characteristics of the device are measured from -3 to +3[V]. The insulation property of a thin film is better as the distance between electrodes is larger.

Polyimide is a well-known organic dielectric material, which has not only high chemical and thermal stability but also good electrical insulating and mechanical properties. In this research, we have synthesized a polyamic acid(PAA), which is a precursor of the polyimide. To obtain the optimum conditions of polyamic acid alkylamine salt(PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film deposition, the ${\pi}-A$ isotherms were examined by varying subphase temperature, barrier moving speed and spreading amount of solution. Film formation was verified by measuring transfer ratio, absorption of UV/vis spectra and scanning electron microscope(SEM) images.

We have manufacture Copper-tetra-tert-butylphalocyanine (CuTBP)Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films, which is known be sensitive to NO$_2$ gab. A response of these films to the NO$_2$ gab was studied. A surface pleasure of 25mN/m was obtained as a proper one for a film deposition. A deposited film status was identified with Uv/visible absorption spectra, ellipsometry measurements, and current-voltage(I-Y) characteristics. The NO$_2$ gas response experiments under 200ppm conducentration show that there are increment of electrical conductivity by 12 times, 5 seconds of response time, and 5 seconds of response time, and 90 seconds of recovery time.

The N $O_{2}$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine (CuTBP), Dilithium phthalocyanine (Li$_{2}$Pc), N-docosylpyridinium TCNQ(C$_{22}$Py(TCNQ)), Polyamic acid alkylamine salts (PAAS). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of .pi.-.ALPHA. isotherms and the deposited film status was confirmed by electrical and optical methods such as UV/visible absortion spectra, thickness measurements by ellipsometry, and electrical capacitances. A response of the LB films to the N $O_{2}$ gas was measured by a change of the electrical conductivities when the film is exposed to the gases. The CuTBP LB film shows the biggest change of the electrical conductivities when it is exposed to the N $O_{2}$ gases. And the order of gas-detection performance is the following;Li$_{2}$Pc, $C_{22}$Py(TCNQ), and PAAS LB films. Especially, the CuTBP and Li$_{2}$Pc LB films not only show the bigger change in the electircal conductivities when exposed to the gas, but return to the original state when the gas is desorbed.d.
