Abstract
A Langmuir-Blodgett trough comprising a middle barrier, configured for creating two different layers of material over the surface of a single subphase liquid. The first layer of material is located on a first side of the middle barrier, while the second layer of material is located on a second side of the middle barrier. The through comprises an adjustment apparatus which comprises a first grooved edge, a second grooved edge, a first side barrier, and a second side barrier. The first side barrier and a second side barrier extend between the first grooved edges. The motion of the first and second side barriers is configured to adjust the surface areas of the first and second materials.
