Unique electronic property of a Langmuir-Blodgett film of dioleyl lecithin deposited on a porous membrane.
The current-controlled voltage characteristics across a Langmuir-Blodgett film of dioleyl lecithin deposited on a fine-pore membrane between equimolar aqueous solutions of NaC1 and KC1 were studied. This membrane was found to exhibit the properties of switching and differential negative-resistance. These unique electronic properties are interesting in relation to excitable phenomena in biomembranes.
