Abstract:
Brewster-angle reflection ellipsometry and surface opticalsecond harmonic generation were used to study the growth of4'-n-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl(8CB) films evaporated in air onto polymeric and quartz glasssubstrates. The layer-by-layer growth of the films terminatesafter formation of two distinctive interfacial layers. Both ofthese two layers are polar and tilted. In the first layer themolecules lie nearly flat on the surface, while in the secondlayer they point on average about 50° toward the surface normal.The dipole moment of the second layer has a lower magnitude andan opposite direction with respect to the dipole moment of thefirst layer.
