Abstract

A new method for the build-up of non-centrosymmetric multilayer thin films has been developed for the first time using an electric field-assisted electrostatic self-assembled monolayer (EF-ESAM) technique. An increase by 116% of the second-harmonic intensity of the films has been observed in comparison with that of ESAM film.
