Xz. Lu et al., DIPPING-INDUCED ANISOTROPY IN HEMICYANINE LANGMUIR-BLODGETT MULTILAYERS, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 29(6), 1996, pp. 1576-1579
Polarized UV-visible absorption and rotation-angle second-harmonic gen
eration techniques were used to investigate the in-plane symmetry in Y
-type Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers of a hemicyanine dye interleaved w
ith the inert material arachidic acid. Dipping-induced anisotropy of t
he molecular orientation with a unique reflection symmetry was enhance
d with increasing dipping speed.
