Formation of Metaloorganic Multilayer Structures by Langmuir-Blodgett Technique

The preliminary results on the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) multilayers and following sulphidization are presented. Well-known techniques to visualise the morphology, assess optical characteristics, thickness and chemical composition of mono- and multilayers on different substrates (atomic force microscopy, ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) were used to analyze produced multilayer structures. It is shown that roughness of the produced metallorganic layers containing Ni and Cu depends on the roughness of the substrate (Si, PET, SiO2), number of layers as well as on the following sulphidization procedure
