Abstract
The d.c. electrical property of the dithiolene complex, or bis(4-diethyannodithiobenzil)nickel (BDN) and stearyl alcohol (SA) mixed Langmuir–Blodgett films was investigated. The conductivity of the LB films as a function of the thickness of the films and the ratio of BDN:SA as well as the current versus voltage (I–V) characteristics have been measured. The conductivity of the LB films is about 3.5 x 10-10 S cm-1 which is less than the bulk conductivity of BDN, and the conductivity of the LB films is strongly influenced by BDN concentration. The I–V property of Al-LB films is governed by the thickness of oxide layers at the LB films with Al electrodes after Auger depth profiling analysis.
