Annotation

This paper studies the influence of adsorption of methanol and iodine molecules on the conductivity of para-tetradecyloxybenzyliden-amino-2-methylbutyl-cyanocinnamate that was obtained using the Langmuir-Blodgett method. The growth of conductivity of the studied films at methanol absorption and the reduction of conductivity upon iodine absorption was discovered. An explanation of the observed conductivity variation at adsorption is proposed.
