T. Verbiest et al., 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION FROM FLOATING LANGMUIR LAYERS OF AN AZOBENZENE-FUNCTIONALIZED COPOLYMER, Thin solid films, 242(1-2), 1994, pp. 139-141
Floating Langmuir layers of an azobenzene-functionalized copolymer wer
e investigated with second-harmonic generation in reflection. The non-
linear susceptibility tensor chi(2) of the monolayer and the orientati
on of the polymer side groups were determined. The effect of surface p
ressure on the second-harmonic intensity was investigated.
