By using tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), we revealed for the first time the structure of J aggregates of pseudoisocyanine chloride(PIC-Cl) dyes at a mica/solution interface in an aqueous PIC-Cl solution. The J aggregates were leaf-like islands in multilayers of PIC-Cl molecules. The minimal size of the aggregate necessary for the J band was also revealed. Dye molecules grow into the J aggregates at a mica/solution interface by a Volmer-Weber type growth process.
