Abstract

A method for measuring grazing incidence reflection spectra of monomolecular organic layers is presented which involves the use of a stepmotor-driven translation stage to alternately measure the covered and uncovered part of a metal substrate and averaging of the spectra from several such cycles. The method is applied to Langmuir-Blodgett films of poly(octadecylmethacrylate).
