Abstract
This paper reports the simultaneous observation of the thickness and distribution of XY-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films by measurement of the reflectivity of soft X-rays using synchrotron radiation. The thickness and distribution are obtained by analysing the oscillation of the reflectivity, which is produced by varying the wavelength λ or grazing angle θ. The thickness obtained is compared with models of the XY-type deposition mechanism. It is shown that the molecular overturning model is the most satisfactory.
