The amplitude of surface acoustic wave (SAW) was monitored during the
Langmuir-Blodgett deposition, This in-situ measurement enabled to dete
ct the changes caused by superimposing individual monomolecular layers
on LiNbO3 crystal. The experimental dependence of the SAW-echo on the
film thickness was fitted by the theoretical curve derived from the m
odel of SAW propagation at the thin layer-substrate interface.
