Abstract

Interface-adsorbed complex Langmuir-BIodgett (LB) films of arachidic acid and a water-soluble cyanine dye were fabricated using the diffusion-adsorption method. Formation of an H-aggregate with absorption band split was observed in the LB film. This split is assignable as Davydov splitting, which is characterized as the split of the band into two bands, whose transition moments are orthogonal to each other, due to formation of herringbonelike aggregates. The estimation of the molecular arrangement in the aggregate was performed based on Davydov’s theory and the extended dipole model.
