Abstract
Langmuir (L) and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of 3,4,9,10-tetra(heptyloxycarbonyl)perylene and its binary mixtures with 4-octyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) and 4-pentyl-4″-cyano-p-terphenyl (5CT) have been studied. On the basis of the surface pressure–mean molecular area isotherms of L films, the alignment of the molecules on the air–water interface has been estimated. The L films were transferred onto quartz plates at surface pressures below the collapse point. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of LB films, obtained using unpolarized and linearly polarized light, were recorded. The results obtained have led to conclusions on the arrangement of the dye and liquid crystal molecules on the air–solid substrate interface. The fluorescence spectra revealed the formation of excited dimers in LB films.
