The article describes the features of the formation of CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots - liquid crystal Langmuir monolayers on a water subphase surface by different temperature value. Monolayers structure was investigated by analyzing the compression isotherms and surface potential value. Films on the solid substrate (glass plates) were investigated by atomic force microscopy method for morphology, thickness and roughness. Film structure was studied as a function of the pressure at which the transfer was carried. It is shown that the structure of films obtained by a higher temperature of subphase is more perfect. The film is monolayered and uniform in thickness.
