✦ Synopsis
Anisotropic orientation of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of cadmium arachidate on fused silica is studied by infrared-visible sum-frequency generation (SFG). The results of rotational anisotropy in the SFG signal show that the terminal methyl groups are tilted along the withdrawal direction for the 9-and 3-monolayer films but not for the l-monolayer film.
