Multilayer thin films, materials

OctylPT, poly[3-(2-propanoyloxyethyl)thiophene] and 3-(2-decanoyloxy)PT have been degassed by NO2 during weighing by a quartz crystal microbalance this very sensitive method gives a clear correlation between the NO2 concentration and the weight increase of the polymeric thiophene derivatives applied as multilayer thin film material mixed with octadecylamine [201].

From optical point of view, an OLED structure can be considered as a multilayer thin-film system composed of absorbing and nonabsorbing materials, as shown in Figure 6.27. Therefore, the optical properties and optimal structure of such a multilayer device can be investigated by applying thin-film optical analysis techniques. Based on the theory of optical admittance analysis for analyzing the optical properties of a thin-film system [92], the optical properties of an OLED thin-film system can be simulated to reduce the ambient reflection.

The surface of a semiconductor generally has different properties from the bulk. The surface of a thin film material such as a-Si H is particularly significant because the bulk is never far away. Interest in multilayer structures which are described in Section 9.4 and the development of thin film field effect transistors, which are described in Section 10.2, has focussed attention on surface and interface properties. 

Monolayer and multilayer thin films are technologically important materials that potentially provide well-defined molecular architectures for the detailed study of interfacial electron transfer. Perhaps the most important attribute of these heterogeneous systems is the ease with which their molecular architecture can be synthetically varied to tailor the properties of the ensemble. Assemblies incorporating specifically designed structures can, in principle, meet the needs of a variety of technological applications and be used as models for understanding fundamental interfacial reaction mechanisms. In fact, molecular assemblies are nearly ideal laboratories for the fundamental study of electron-transfer reactions at interfaces. In this chapter, the use of monolayer and multilayer assemblies to probe fundamental questions regarding electron transfer in surface-confined molecular assemblies will be addressed.
