Polymorphism of 2D monolayer J-aggregates of cyanine dyes

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Meso- and nanoscale structural polymorphism of monolayer J-aggregates of four cyanine dyes are investigated. Three mesoscale morphological types are observed: ribbons, rhombic leaves, and tubes. Tubes are formed during cylindrical spinning of ribbons. Lined substructure characterized by the line width of about 7 nm is found in the case of monolayers of monomethine cyanine dyes at the nanoscale.
