A study on the electrical conduction characteristics of the ultrathin organic films is one of the important factors for the development of molecular electronic devices. The Langmuir- Blodgett(LB) technique has recently been attracted interest as a method of the deposition ultrathin films. We hate fabricated N-docosyl N\`-methyl viologen-diTCNQ(DMVT) anion radical LB film and investigated the molecular orientation and electrical conduction characteristics. We have measured infrared transmission-reflection spectra. The alkyl chain is found to he well-ordered with the tilt angle of 13$^{\circ}$ with respect to the substrate surface normal and the TCNQ plane is tilted at 76$^{\circ}$ the surface normal. In ESR spectrum, we confirmed that a half-amplitude linewidth is clearly dependent on the incident angle, which indicates conducting species change. The in-plane conductivity of 31 lagers is approximately 1.33$\times$10$^{-6}$ S/cm. The ohmic behaviour was observed below 0.6 V, when current-voltage(I-V) characteristics was measured verically.

Organic molecules have many properties that make them attractive for electronic applications. We have been examining the progress of memory cell by using molecular-scale switch to give an example of the application using both nano scale components and Si-technology. In this study, molecular electronic devices were fabricated with amino style derivatives as redox-active component. This molecule is amphiphilic to allow monolayer formation by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and then this LB monolayer is inserted between two metal electrodes. According to the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, it was found that the devices show remarkable hysteresis behavior and can be used as memory devices at ambient conditions, when aluminum oxide layer was existed on bottom electrode. The diode-like characteristics were measured only, when Pt layer was existed as bottom electrode. It was also found that this metal layer interacts with organic molecules and acts as a protecting layer, when thin Ti layer was inserted between the organic molecular layer and Al top electrode. These electrical properties of the devices may be applicable to active components for the memory and/or logic gates in the future.

It is well known that the metallo- phthalocyanine (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as $NO_2$ and also chemically and thermally stable, Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemical sensor for $NO_2$ gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, ultra-thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absortion spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Transfer condition, and characterization of LB films were investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to $NO_2$ gas as a function of film thickness and temperature were discussed.

Oil-soluble poly(p-phenylene(1-methoxyethylene)), as a precursor of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), was synthesized add identified with NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The PPV films were prepared by PPV precursor films with a thermal treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ under vacuum, where the PPV precursor films wets formed on various substrates by using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The characterization of these films was carried out by FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-VIS absorption spectroscopym, and photoluminescence (PL). Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been used to investigate He surface morphology of PPV films.

We synthesized dendrimers containing light switchable units, azobenzene group. And the dendrimer containing 48 pyridinepropanol functional end group, which could form a complex structure with metal ions was synthesized. To apply to the molecular level devices or data storage system using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film, we firstly investigated the monolayer behavior using the surface pressure-area($\pi$-A) isotherms at air-water interface. And then the surface pressure shift of monolayer by light irradiation was also measured to the dendrimer with azobezene group. As a result, the monolayer of dendrimer with azobenzene group showed the reversible photo-switching behavior by the isomerization of azobenzene group in their periphery. The samples for electrical measurement were fabricated to two types which were pure dendrimer with pyridinepropanol group and its complexes with $Pt^4+$ ions by LB method. We have studied the electrical properties of the ultra thin dendrimer LB films investigated by the current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of Metal/Dendrimer LB films/Metal(MIM) structure. And we have investigated different results in the surface activity at the air-water interface as well as the electrical properties for the monolayers of pure dendrimer with pyridinevopanol group and its complex with $Pt^4+$ ions. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the metal ion around dendrimer with pyri야nepropanol group can contribute to make formation of network structure among dendrimers and it result from the change of electrical properties. This results suggest that the dendrimers with azobenzene group and pvridinedropanol group can be applied to high efficient nano-device of molecular level.

The molecular electronic devices of organic materials are of current interest. Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method is the most possible candidate for the development of the molecular electronic devices. One of the critical problems for applications of the LB films to the commercial products will be an electrical conductivity within a LB film. We studied the monolayer characteristics and electrical conductivity of the 1:1 mixture LB films of N-docosylquinolium-TCNQ and $TCNQ^0$. There were some differences in the $\pi-A$ isotherm and UV-visible absorption spectrum of N-docosylquinolium-TCNQ and 1:1 mixture. The small critical area of the $\pi-A$ isotherm for 1:1 mixture may result from the bilayer formation. We confirmed the incorporation of the $TCNQ^0$ with the N-docosylquinolium-TCNQ from the UV-visible absorption spectrum. But the electrical conductivity measured was $10^{-7}$ S/cm for the 1:1 mixture film layered at the surface pressure of 35 mN/m. We couldn't gain any electrical conductivity by mixing the $TCNQ^0$ into the N-docosylquinolium-TCNQ layer. We supposed that $TCNQ^0$ mixed in was not packed parallel to the TCNQ anion radical faces.

In the initial process of photosynthesis, a biological electron transfer system, photoelectric conversion occurs and then long-range electron transfer takes place very efficiently in one direction through the biomolecules. The metal/insulator/metal structured device consisting of GFP, viologen, cytochrome c hetero-thin film was presented based on the biomimesis. GFP, viologen, and cytochrome c was used as an electron sensitizer, a mediator, and an electron acceptor. Cytochrome c molecules and viologen molecules were deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, and GFP molecules were adsorbed by self-assembly method (SAM). Surface morphology of hetero-thin film was analyzed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Local photoswitching effects of a proposed photodiode were verified by current-voltage measurements using hybrid STM/I-V measurement system.
