Abstract
In order to anneal the surface monolayer uniformly, a new trough system with a flat panel heater and a fluorescence microscope was constructed. The recrystallization process during thermal treatment of the monolayer was directly monitored by a fluorescence microscope. The crystal size of a double-chain ammonium monolayer was extremely increased by the thermal treatment. The practical advantage of the flat panel heater on the thermal treatment was demonstrated as a uniform size distribution of the crystalline domains.
