Abstract
Direct evidence for ballistic electron motion through organized organic thin films was observed. Photoelectrons were injected from a thin silver film coated with organic films, prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett method, and the energy distribution of the electrons transmitted through the layer was measured. Electrons with energy above ca. 0.8 eV were transmitted without alteration through an organic layer that contains up to five monolayers, each about 20 Å thick.Keywords
