Single layer conductance of cadmium behenate in the Langmuir multilayer assembly system

Abstract

A frequency dispersion of conductance has been observed in a heterogeneous multilayer system of Cd‐behenate and Cd‐stearate in accordance with the hopping theory of the multilayer assemblies. The values of the single‐layer dc conductance evaluated for Cd‐behenate are consistent with those for palmitate, stearate, and arachidate, suggesting the availability of the heterogeneous multilayer system for the evaluation of the bulk conductivity of a single monolayer.
