41. UV light at the two wavelengths 334 and 365 nm from the mercury lamp triggers the photoisomerization of both chromophores and the subsequent formation of J-aggregates. The initial UV irradiation using 334 nm light was more efficient for the growth of J-aggregates. This may be related to the fact that the absorbance of SP is larger at 334 nm than at 365 nm, and vice versa for trans-APT. A triple 10-min illumination with 334 nm light was normally chosen as the initial illumination in order to reach a quasi-stationary state.
42. These small domains are approximately 4 nm deeper than the major phase and are interpreted as defects. The three-dimensional structures are likely due to multilayers. (40) Squares of 1 μm × 1 μm were removed during the first scan with an applied force between the tip and the sample of several nanonewtons and a scan frequency of1 Hz. Repetitive scans under the same conditions did not lead to any further change of the hole depth. (41) A similar photoeffect originating from the homogeneous monolayer phase has also been observed. In those rare cases, the extent of the morphological change was quite small. (42) The reversible morphological change of monolayers of APT on mica was observed by in situ AFM at a higher resolution. Small structures were reversibly erased by UV light and restored by visible light. The films were prepared under the same conditions as the SP/ APT mixed films. Large-scale defects and small irregular bilayer domains contributed to a more complex aspect of the images.
