Thermally induced defects in Langmuir-Blodgett films — Jan Weber, Eckart Hasselbrink, and •Thorsten Balgar — Fakultät für Chemie, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany

In recent years organic monolayers of long-chain aliphatic molecules are intensively discussed in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, microelectronics or biosensing since they allow for chemical tailoring of various surfaces.[1-3] In this context the inner structure of the monolayer regarding a proper chain alignment is of considerable interest. We have utilized vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (VSFG) to monitor the creation of conformational chain defects at elevated temperatures. Our study is focused on Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of long-chain carboxylic acids on glass substrates.
