  • Title: Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic and scanning near-field optical microscopic studies of rhodamine dye adsorbed in cationic Langmuir-Blodgett films.
    Author: Ray K, Nakahara H, Sakamoto A.
    Journal: Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc; 2005 Jan 01; 61(1-2):103-7. PubMed ID: 15556427.
    Abstract:
    The fluorescence lifetimes decays and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra were measured to investigate the dynamics of the excited state of sulforhodamine B (SRB) molecules adsorbed in the mono- and multilayered Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of octadecylamine. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that the fluorescence lifetimes and contents of the monomer and dimers in the molecular organizates depend upon the concentration of the dye in the solution and the adsorption process. SRB dye molecules adsorbed in LB films have been imaged with scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). This information is exploited to map the distribution with molecular spatial resolution. SNOM provide the visual evidence of the monomers and dimers of SRB in cationic LB films.
