Abstract
AN investigation has been carried out into the feasibility of using Langmuir–Blodgett multi-monolayers1 of stearic acid as a thin film dielectric2. It has been found that these layers are stable under vacuum and that it is possible to evaporate aluminium over them without damage, as demonstrated by Handy and Scala3 investigating tunnelling infilms 25–100 Å thick.
