The tribological properties of amphiphilic monolayers and composite multilayer on silicon surface were investigated using micro-tribometer and Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers from behenic acid. 2.4-heneicosanedione(HD) and its copper complex((HD)$_2$Cu) were fabricated on silicon surface and the composite multilayer of 5-bilayer of (HD)$_2$Cu was fabricated on the surface of octadecyltrichlorsilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayer(SAM). We observed that LB monolayers and the composite multilayer exhibited a steady and excellent friction response when compared with the OTS SAM. These LB mono and multilayer also showed much higher wear-resistance than the OTS SAM.

In this paper, we present the carbon nanotube field-effect transistor(CNT-FET) with a double-gate structure. A Carbon nanotube film was aligned by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique and $SiN_x$ was deposited to protect from water, oxygen, and other contaminants. We measured the electrical characteristics of the proposed device as the function of the $V_{BG}$, $V_{TG}$. From this result, we can confirm that proposed device might be employed as a biosensor.

The electro-optic properties in Langmuir Blodgett films of poly (vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) are investigated in the crossover region between two and three dimensions. The absence of finite size effect is observed in the films thinner than 20 nm, which confirms that these films are two dimensional ferroelectrics. The copolymer LB film of P(VDF-TrFE) exhibits the largest electro-optic response(26 pm/V) at 10 layer thickness. The cross-over behavior of electro-optic effect around the 10 layer thickness was discussed with the formation of nanomesa after thermal annealing.

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, the electrical properties of PI LB films were investigated at room temperature. At low electric field, ohmic conduction(I∝V) was observed and the calculated electrical conductivity was about 9.7$\times$10$^{-15}$ S/cm. At high electric field, conduction(I∝V$^2$) was observed and the conduction mechanism was explained by space charge limited region effect. The dielectric constant of LB film was about 7.5.

Self-assembled (SA) and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers of arachidic acid on silver surfaces have been investigated by a reflection-absorption Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Arachidic acid was adsorbed on silver as carboxylate with its two oxygen atoms bound symmetrically to the surface. Although both the SA and LB monolayers consisted of fully extended trans zigzag carbon chains, a closer examination indicated that the SA monotayers should possess a more ordered crystalline structure than the LB monolayers. The infrared spectral data dictated that the extent of methyl group exposure at the air-film interface was greater in the SA monolayers than the LB monolayers, in agreement with the contact angle measurement. From a theoretical analysis, the alkyl chains in each monolayers seemed to be tilted away from the surface normal by less than $3.5^{\circ}$, but in opposite directions. Arachidic acid monolayers were concluded to have same structure as stearic acid monolayers.

This paper describes a thennally stimulated displacement current(TSDC) of polyamic acid alkylamine salts(PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films, which is a precursor of polyimide(PI). The TSDC measurements of PAAS LB film were performed from room temperature to about $250^{\circ}C$ and the temperature was increased at a rate of $0.2^{\circ}C/s$. This show that this is TSDC peaks at about $70^{\circ}C$ in the arachidic acid LB films, and at about $70^{\circ}C$ and $160^{\circ}C$ in the PAAS LB films. Results of this measurements indicate that one small peak at $70^{\circ}C$ is resulted from a softening of the alkyl group and the large peak at $160^{\circ}C$ is possibly due to dipole moment of C-O group in the PAAS molecule. We have calculated the vertical component of dipole moment of the P AAS LB film out of the TSDC curves. It shows that the dipole moment of PAAS LB film is about -40mD at $70^{\circ}C$ and about 200mD at $160^{\circ}C$ in the first measurement of TSDC. In the second measurement of TSDC of PAAS LB film after cooling down to room temperature, the TSDC peaks are almost disappeared.

(N-docosyl pyridinium)-TCNQ(1:1) complex was synthesized by reacting N-docosyl pyridinium bromide and LiTCNQ. This complex was investigated and confirmed by elemental analysis. U.V, I.R spectra. A stability to the dispersion solvent, which is acetonitrile, dichloromethane, benzene, chloroform and acetonitrile-benzene (1:1, V/V) of (N-docosyl pyridinium)-TCNQ(1:1) complex was investigated by U. V spectrophotometer and was confirmed stabilized on acetonitrile, benzene and acetonitrile-benzene(1:1'V/V) for 7 hours. Using ultra pure water as subphase for L-B film deposition, the Y-type L-B film of (N-docosyl pyridinium)-TCNQ(1:1) complex was farbricated. The electrical conductivities on a perpendicular direction of the L-B film were measured to be $5{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}5{\times}10^{-14}$S/cm according to the number of layer.

We used an elcosanoic acid material and the material was very famous as an thin film bio and insulating material. Eicosanoic acid monolayer was deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique and a subphase was a $CdCl_2$ solution as a $2\times10^{-4}mol/l$. Also, we used a bottom electrode as an $Al/Al_2O_3$ and a top electrode as a Al. When the positive and negative bias applied to the molecular device, the behavior shows that a tunnel switching characteristics. This results were analyzed regarding various mechanisms.

Deposition conditions, surface morphology, and electrical properties of polyamic acid alkylamine salts (PAAS) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films have been investigated through a study of surface pressure-area $\pi$-A isotherms, AFM (atomic force microscopy), and current-voltage characteristics. To obtain the optimum conditions of film deposition, the $\pi$-A isotherms were examined by varying temperature, barrier moving speed, dipping speed, spreading amount of solution etc. The Z-type LB films were made at the surface pressure of 5 mN m-1 and 25 mN m-1 for the AFM study; the former surface pressure forms the gas phase and the latter one forms the solid phase. The LB film made in the gas phase show domains with a size of about 200 A diameter and 70 A height. However, the LB films made in the solid phase show a very smooth surface with 2 A surface roughness. In the current-voltage characteristics measured along the perpendicular direction of the films, ohmic conduction has been observed below 105 V cm-1 and the calculated electrical conductivity is about 10-13 S cm-1. Nonohmic conduction has been observed above = 10-11 V cm and the conduction mechanism can be explained by the Schottky effect.
