Magnetic Langmuir-Blodgett Films

Abstract

Abstract Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films containing various inorganic complexes were prepared using the so-called semi-amphiphilic approach where ions are adsorbed along a charged monolayer. The metal complexes are organized generally in monolayers within the LB films. The magnetic properties of such LB films are related to that of the inorganic molecules and present an anisotropic behavior in some cases. Those results emphasize the interest to control perfectly the molecular organization in order to build up new magnetic hybrid materials.
