Photopatterning of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films is performed by UV irradiation of the polymer films containing uniformly distributed AuCl4- ions. The process reduces the gold ions and leads to production of Au nanoparticles in the irradiated regions at room temperature (RT). Resulting films are investigated with scanning electron microscopy, which revealed, in addition to regions with gold nanoparticles, the presence of "ion-depleted regions". These regions are formed at RI and within the rigid polymer matrix by diffusion of gold ions toward the irradiated regions, ending up with no or very little gold moieties, which are important for prevention of delayed processes for postgeneration of unwanted features, if and when such materials are utilized for device production. Further investigations performed by fluorescence and Raman measurements and XPS mapping give additional evidence supporting the existence of such regions. Similar regions are also observed within the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) films. The ion-depleted regions are about 10 mu m wide, which is a significant length for the metal ions to travel through a rigid matrix like PMMA (or PVAL) at room temperature and raises important questions as to the diffusion mechanism(s) of the metal ions and to the nature of the driving force(s).

Photoconductivity of P3HT films measured by time-resolved THz spectroscopy Esentürk, Okan; Heilweil, Edwin J. (Optical Society of America (OSA); 2007-01-01) Photoconductivities of P3HT polymer films varying in molecular weight were directly measured and compared using optical pump-THz probe spectroscopy. Conductivities of P3HT polymers depend on the polymer length, ring orientation regularity and film morphology. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
Electrochemical synthesis of crowned conducting polymers : nature of radical cations in polymerization and mechanism of conductivity Cihaner, Atilla; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Department of Chemistry (2004) Poly(dibenzo-18-crown-6) (Poly(DB18C6)) was synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) using a mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane as solvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF4) or tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as supporting electrolyte. The anodic polymerization of DB18C6 was investigated using in-situ ESR and in-situ UV-VIS spectroscopic techniques. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties and thermal analysis of the resulting polymers h...
Indium tin oxide nanoparticles as anode for light-emitting diodes Çırpan, Ali (Wiley, 2006-02-15) Thin films of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles have been investigated as anode materials for polymer light-emitting diodes. A luminance efficiency (0.13 cd/ A), higher than that (0.09 cd/A) obtained in a control devices fabricated on conventional commercial ITO anodes were found. The thin films were made by spin coating of a suspension followed by annealing. The ITO nartoparticle films have a stable sheet resistance of 200 ohm/sq, and an optical transmittance greater than 86% over the range of 400-1000 ...
Defect assisted enhanced nonlinear optical performance and optical limiting of pure and doped BiVO4 powders and nanocomposite films Tekin, Sezen; Tutel, Yusuf; Karatay, Ahmet; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Elmali, Ayhan (2022-12-01) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.The linear and nonlinear absorption properties, photoluminescence and optical limiting properties of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) powders and films were presented in this work. The structural, morphological and optical effects of different doping elements (M: Mo,W and Ni) were investigated (M: BiVO4). XRD and Raman results proved that BiVO4 and M: BiVO4 powders were synthesized in the monoclinic scheelite structure. Twhe powder morphology as found to be changed by Ni and W doping. The nonlin...
Pyrolysis mass spectrometric analysis of copolymer of polyacrylonitrile and polythiophene Oğuz, Gülcan; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) In the first part of this work, the structural and thermal characteristics of polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylonitrile films treated under the electrolysis conditions in the absence of thiophene, polythiophene and the mechanical mixture and a conducting copolymer of polyacrylonitrile/polythiophene have been studied by pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The thermal degradation of polyacrylonitrile occurs in three steps; evolution of HCN, monomer, low molecular weight oligomers due to random chain cleavages a...
