Thin films of aligned nanowires composed of oriented para-sexiphenyl molecules were prepared on muscovite mica substrates and transferred to the surfaces of Ag films. Results of attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurements on these samples with a fixed wavelength of incident light clearly demonstr...
