Abstract
Typical ferroelectricity in Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers prepared from hemicyanine dyes has been demonstrated by observed ferroelectric hysteresis loop. Their ferroelectric properties are found to be thickness dependent. The coercive field decreased with increasing film thickness monotonously and may be approximated by a power law Ec ∞ N-4/3 in the range from 30 to 200 nm, which is coincident with other conventional ferroelectric materials. The optimum thickness of hemicyanine LB multiplayer is about 60 nm and their optimum value as ferroelectric storage-devices has the same order of magnitude as P(VdF-TrEE) (n:n = 70:30).
