Abstract
Amphiphilic molecules containing a polymerisable oxiran (epoxide) group have been assembled into Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers. Lines were drawn on the multilayers by exposure to an electron beam and subsequent development by rinsing in toluene. Line widths and heights were examined for various doses of electrons of energies 10, 5 and 2 kV. Generally, for the higher energies and shorter exposures, narrow well defined lines were obtained of height similar to the thickness of the original multilayers. Conversely, at lower energies and exposure times, troughs rather than lines were observed following incomplete development. The implications of these results are compared with theoretical predictions of bbnd forming and bond scission processes during electron irradiation of organic molecules.
