The most commonly used amphiphiles to build L-B hlms for tribological applications are the straight chain hydrocarbon compounds with simple functional groups such as the fatty acids, including stearic acids, arachidic acids, and behenic acids [32], but other amphiphilic molecules, e.g., 2,4-heneicosanedione and 2-docosylamina-5-nitropyridine, are also applied in some cases. There are two major systems of self-assembled monolayers, namely the alkylsilance derivatives (e.g., OTS, octadecyltrichlorosilane) on hydroxylated surfaces and the alkanethiols on metal substrates, which have been investigated extensively to examine their properties as solid lubricants and protective surface films [31 ].

The highly oriented molecules in thin organic films such as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films and self-assembled monolayers (SAM) [1] are essential for some molecular functions. Non linear optical and opto-electronic properties are two of the most important and interesting functions of these molecular assemblies. In the past more than thirteen years, simulation of the primary process of photosynthesis using such molecular assemblies and its application to molecular photodiodes [2,3] have been one of the main subjects of our laboratory.
