Abstract

Layer-by-layer molecular self-assembly of nanosized magnetite (Fe3O4) particles and polyimide precursor molecules into multilayer ultrathin films has been accomplished on single crystal silicon and quartz substrates. This process involves the alternate dipping of a substrate into an aqueous solution of cationic polymer which coats on nanoscale Fe3O4 particles as a stabilizer followed by dipping into an aqueous solution of anionie polyimide precursor (polyamic acid salt, PAATEA). The growth process and the structure have been characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that well-ordered uniform monolayer and multilayer magnetic films have been formed on silicon and silica surfaces.
