The experimental and computational approach developed in the present
study can be profitably used to monitor and model aggregation in LB films
of new systems. Current work in progress in our laboratory will utilize the
present analysis in the investigation of new approaches to achieve deag-
gregation of hemicyanine dye molecules in LB films. This will enable the
development of techniques to enhance the optical second harmonic gen-
eration response of these ultrathin films.
