چکیده
An advanced Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) assembly designed to replicate the three key aspects (antenna, reaction center, and quinone pool) of a primary process in natural photosynthesis was successfully fabricated by alternate deposition of a mixed monolayer of an artificial reaction center and an antenna pigment and a pure bilayer of a second donor.

Optoelectronic properties of graphene thin films deposited by a Langmuir-Blodgett assembly.
Large area thin films of few-layered unfunctionalized graphene platelets are developed with fine control over the thickness. The thin films are obtained by a Langmuir-Blodgett assembly at the interface of graphene solution in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and water, and their optoelectronic properties and conduction mechanism are investigated in relation to lateral flake size and thin film thick...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Layer - by - Layer Assembly : From Biomimetics to Tissue
In the second half of the 20th century, scientists have been attracted to the design of thin solid films at the molecular level because of their potential for applications in the fields of biology and medicine. Two techniques dominated research in this area: Langmuir–Blodgett deposition and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Both Langmuir–Blodgett deposition, invented by Langmuir and Blodgett, a...
متن کاملLangmuir Blodgett films of arachidic acid and N4 molecules: characterization and use in homeotropic alignment of N4
We study the behavior of a mixed Langmuir monolayer consisting of a fatty acid and a nematic liquid crystal. We demonstrate that the mixed monolayer successfully transfers as a Langmuir-Blodgett film and characterize the transferred film using UV spectroscopy. An important application of Langmuir-Blodgett films is in the alignment of liquid crystals for electro-optical applications, such as dis...
متن کاملNear infrared (NIR) lanthanide emissive Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers formed using Nd(III) directed self-assembly synthesis of chiral amphiphilic ligands.
The incorporation of chiral amphiphilic lanthanide-directed self-assembled Nd(III) complexes (Nd.13 and Nd.23) into stable Langmuir monolayers, and the subsequent Langmuir-Blodgett film formation of these, is described. The photophysical properties of the enantiomeric pair of ligands 1 and 2 in the presence of Nd(CF3SO3)3 were also investigated in CH3CN solutions using UV-vis, fluorescence, and...
متن کاملNanoparticle assembly following Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics on a Langmuir film and chain networks captured in LB films.
The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is an elegant protocol for the steered assembly of metal nanoparticles, the deposition pressure serving as a convenient parameter to tune the assembly. Adsorption of nanoparticles from the subphase to the air-water interface can provide further control of the process. Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles in the aqueous subphase are shown to assemble into ex...
