Y. Paz et al., PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN ORGANIZED ORGANIC THIN-FILMS AS DETECTED BY THEIR REACTIVITY, Journal of physical chemistry, 97(36), 1993, pp. 9075-9077
The temperature dependence of the reactivity of organized organic thin
films with an atomic beam of O(3P) was investigated. The films, eithe
r single or multilayers, were prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett method
. The reactivity varied linearly with temperature, which is explained
by the penetrability of the atoms between the organic chains. Phase tr
ansitions in the thin films could be observed by the change in the dep
endence of reactivity on temperature.
