We carried out this subject to observe photoisomerization using 8A5H and phospholipid(DLPC) containing azobenzene group which has reversible to cis-trans by light irradiation. We investigated the photoisomerization and property of the monolayer film on quartz substrate prepared by the mixture of 8A5H and phospholipid deposited using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. It was found that the absorption spectrum of the 8A5H and phospholipid LB monolayer was induced to photoisomerization by alternate light irradiation. And the absorbance of both the solution of mixtures of 8A5H-phospholipid and LB film was reversibly changed by the acid-base exposure and alternate temperatures.

Electrochemical behavior of surface active Osmium bipyridine complex adsorbed in a monomolecular layer on tin oxide electrodes by the Langmuir-Blodgett method was studied. Theoretical equation of cyclic voltammetry of electrode reactions for redox species adsorbed as monolayer form was discussed by reversible and quasi-reversible waves. The film was transferred onto the $SnO_2$ electrode surface and then amounts of charge on the electrode were measured in the technique of cyclic voltammetry. The electron transfer mediation of these monolayer with $Fe^{2+}$, TEMPOL and others were studied. And the cyclic voltammetry were simulated by taking into account the interaction parameters. From these values, we found it possible to fit almost all measured cyclic voltammograms with these parameters. The recent works and directions using LB method were introduced with various applicable field.

Metal ion complex of poly(N-(2,4-imidazoly)ethyl)maleimide-alt-l-octadecene (IMO-O) polymer used to confirm the possibility of molecular device made by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. Electrical properties of the metal ion complex LB film were investigated using Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) structure. In the surface pressure-area($\pi$-A) isotherm of IMI-O polymer, the surface pressure at collapse point has a difference due to the interaction between polymer and metal ions. And the complex between polymer and metal ions could be verified through the investigation by Raman spectroscopy. In the current-voltage(I-V) property, the conductivity change of IMO-O polymer complexes due to the kinds of metal of metal ions couldn't be observed. However, the limiting area of molecules was changed by the concentration of the metal ions and the conductivity was increased with the occupied molecular area.

Langmuir-Blodgett method is the best candidate for the development of the future molecular electronic devices. But, this molecular thin film devices requires the bulk properties that was influenced by the molecular arrangements and orientations. So, these are of current interest in molecular electronic device fabrications of new materials. In this experiment, the N-docosylquinolium-TCNQ LB films were deposited on the surface pressures of 30 mN/m and 45 mN/m. We measured the polarized UV/visible absorptions of deposited films for the study of the molecular arrangements and orientations. The polarized UV/visible absorption variation on the incidence and polarization angle of the LB film deposited on the surface pressure of 45 mN/m shown methodically variated. So, we concluded that the LB film deposited on 45 mN/mwas arranged better than that obtained at 30 mN/m.

Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of fatty acid and polyamic acid mixture. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about 132 $^2$and 115 $^2$just before the initial rise of the surface pressure during the 1st and 2nd mixed monolayer compressions cycle, respectively. Maxwell displacement currents were investigated in connection with mixed 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. Ultra thin film of fatty acid and polyamic acid mixture was prepared on the hydrophilic quartz plate by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The precursor LB film was heated in a vacuum dry oven at 12$0^{\circ}C$ 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.

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 Langmuirfilms. MDC flowing across monolayers is analyzed using a rod-like molecular model. A linear relationship between the monolayer compression speed a and the molecular area Am. Compression speed a was about 30, 40, and 50 mm/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 Aul Arachidic acid! AI, the number of accumulated layers are $9{\sim}21$. 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.

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

In this paper, poly (N-(2-4-imidazolyl) ethyl) maleimide-alt-1-octadecene (IMI-O) polymer which can complex metal ion was used to confirm the possibility of molecular device made by Langmuir-Blodgett method. Metal/Insulator/Metal (MIM) device was fabricated for investigation of electric properties. In the ${\pi}$-A isotherm, surface pressure at collapse point was different as to the molecular weight of metal ion complexed respectively, In I-V characteristics, currents of MiM devices were different at the same voltage. It was thought that phenomena was occurred by interaction between function group and metal ion.

We studied on the ultra thin DMPC by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The $\pi$ -A isotherm of the DMPC was measured at the air-water interface varying with the compressing speed and amounts of solutions for spreading. DMPC molecules have one phosphatidylcholine head group and two long alky groups with carbonyl group. Displacement currents generated during the compression of monolayers of DMPC on the surface of water were investigated. The molecular arrangement of deposited films were evaluated by measuring the absorption with the UVspectrometer. And we made structures of metal(Au)/DMPC/Metal(Au) and examined electron through DMPC LB films by means of current-voltage(I-V) measurement .
