description

Structural control is a major issue in both life science, investigating the function of the biological machinery, and in materials science, aiming at the design of novel devices. In part one, recent electro-optical investigations of the primary event of photosynthesis on purified protein preparations are described. Part two focuses on structural studies of monolayers at an air/water interface, and of Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers from a new molecule designed for nonlinear optical applications.
