n-Octadecyl 4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthyl ether, ONNE, was synthesi
zed and the optical characteristics of ONNE was studied. Noncentrosymm
etric Z-type Langmuir-Bodgett (LB) films of ONNE were prepared and the
second harmonic generation, SHG, intensity of the films were measured
. The structural characteristics of floating monolayer and LB film of
ONNE were discussed with the pi - A isotherm, UV - visible absorption
spectroscopy and ellipsometry. The polarized UV - visible absorption s
pectroscopy and SHG intensity suggest molecular orientation in LB film
.
