Abstract

We will illustrate the topographical structure and optical structure of the merocyanine dye LB films obtained by the scanning near-field optical/atomic force microscopy (SNOAM). SNOAM was recognized as a powerful tool to modify the surface as well as to characterize the topography of the surface at atomic resolution, especially for optical reaction materials. SNOAM images showed that the topographical and optical structures of these films were not only depended on the chemical property but also physical property. In the continuous measurement on these dyes, the appearance of near-field optical transmission images showed a certain dependence on the kinds of dyes and the mutual mixing ratios of dyes. These experimental results suggest that there is a certain kind of interaction between these two dyes.
