Abstract
The conductivity of mixed Langmuir multilayer films of (Cd arachidate)x– (Cd palmitate)1−x has been measured as a function of the molar fraction x at liquid‐nitrogen temperature. The conductivity decreases exponentially with increasing x or the weighted average of the chain lengths of the fatty acid salts. The results are explained by the hopping conduction model for the multilayer films associated with interface states.Keywords
