Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Physics - Technical Physics, language: English, abstract: The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is a way of making ultrathin nanostructured films with a controlled layer structure and crystal parameter, which have many envisioned applications in technology for optical and molecular electronic devices as well as in signal processing and transformation. LB films have a unique potential for controlling the structure of organized matter on the ultimate scale of miniaturization, and must surely find a niche where this potential is fulfilled. In...
