Abstract
Structural transition in thin vanadyl-phtalocyanine films deposited by Langmuir technology was studied in detail with the help of the vacuum adsorption and optical spectroscopy techniques. The reversible structural transition observed only in super-thin Langmuir films is accompanied by nonreversible changes during heating. This transformation of the film having defects and amorphous regions occurs during the film transition from a metastable state to a more stable one that is characterized by a lower free energy.
