Two-component films of 4-octyl-4’-cyanobifenyl (8CB) and non-amphiphilic azo dye (1) at different molar fractions were studied at the air-water interface on the basis of the surface potentialmean molecular area dependence recorded simultaneously with the surface pressure-mean molecular area isotherm. Conventional Langmuir technique was used to form 1/8CB (guest-host) films during reduction and expansion of an area occupied by the molecules. From the surface potential value the effective dipole moment in the first monolayer formed on the water was calculated. Moreover, the number of dipole moments directed to the air with respect to those directed towards the water was estimated. A model of the microscopic polar ordering of the molecules in 1/8CB films at the air-water interface is proposed.

We demonstrated a new fabrication method of Pt- and Ni-silicide nanodots with an areal density of the order of ~1011 cm-2 on SiO2 through the process steps of ultrathin metal film deposition on pre-grown Si-QDs and subsequent remote H2 plasma treatments at room temperature. Verification of electrical separation among silicide nanodots was made by measuring surface potential changes due to electron injection and extraction using an AFM/Kelvin probe technique. Photoemission measurements confirm a deeper potential well of silicide nanodots than Si-QDs and a resultant superior charge retention was also verified by surface potential measurements after charging to and discharging. Also, the advantage in many electron storage per silicide nanodot was demonstrated in C-V characteristics of MIS capacitors with silicide nanodots FGs.
