J. Cha et al., Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray reflectivity study on thermal stability ofLangmuir-Blodgett film, SYNTH METAL, 117(1-3), 2001, pp. 169-171
The mechanism of defect formation upon thermal treatment of the fatty acid
salt LB film was investigated by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectros
copy and X-ray reflectivity. It was observed from FTIR spectra of alternati
ng LB film of normal and deuterated lead stearate that the major mechanism
of deterioration of the film with thermal treatment was the ablation of the
top layer. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
