Abstract
An ultra-thin, self-assembling molecular film has thickness, length and width dimensions. Ampliphilic molecules in the film are ordered in the thickness dimension, and are arranged in crystals that are aligned in both the length and width dimensions. This molecular alignment in all three film dimensions provides a film having more uniform properties.
