Abstract
A novel potential programmed electropolymerization method which enables us to fabricate any microscopic depth structures in conducting polymer ultrathin films, such as heterolayers and sloped layers, have been developed. The depth profiles of the heterolayers such as thickness and polymer composition are controlled by applied electrode potential, and a nanometer order layered structure has been easily synthesized. The aim of the present study is to manipulate electric, optical and the other various properties specific to the depth structure by changing structural parameters such as polymer composition or doping level of the layers, finally to realize an organic superlattice. This paper deals with the preparation of any microscopic depth structures of conducting polymers such as type I and type II heterostructures Esaki et al proposed 1) as superlattice, by the present potential programmed electropolymerization method, and the structure-specific properties, including a quantum size effect.
