N. Kimura et T. Araiso, MOLECULAR WOBBLING MOTION IN LANGMUIR FILMS BY TIME-RESOLVED FLUORESCENCE DEPOLARIZATION METHOD, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 294, 1997, pp. 149-152
Molecules in a Langmuir film are wobbling in the time range of nanosec
ond. The wobbling motion of beta-DPH HPC assembled as Langmuir films w
ere measured by time-resolved fluorescence depolarization method. Usin
g ''double cone model'', it was found that the angular range and the v
elocity of the motion decreased with increasing of the density of the
molecules in the Langmuir films.
