Monolayers of water-insoluble surfactants (Langmuir monolayers) are important model system in basic research for studying the self-organization of organic molecules into two-dimensional layers [1, 2]. These floating films are also the basis for the build-up of complex multilayered structures on solid substrates, so-called Langmuir—Blodgett films (LB-films), which are of considerable interest in fundamental science and promise some future practical applications [3].
