Abstract

The quartz crystal microbalance has been used to follow the deposition of mono- and multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett films of calcium stearate on gold. The change in frequency of the oscillating quartz transducer is a linear function of the number of layers deposited. The weight associated with each deposited layer agrees within ~25% of that calculated from the reported molecular surface area.
