Electrical charging/discharging properties of thin layers of spin coated pure PS polystyrene (PS)... more Electrical charging/discharging properties of thin layers of spin coated pure PS polystyrene (PS), and pure poly(methyl methacrylate), (PMMA) and an immiscible PS/PMMA blend are studied with externally applied DC and dynamic(squarewave stress) X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). PS and PMMA exhibit quite different charging properties under DC stress. Due to the different charging properties of PS and PMMA domains within an immiscible PS/PMMA blend film, charge contrast or phase separation is clearly observed between domains.
Electrical charging/discharging properties of thin layers of spin coated pure PS polystyrene (PS)... more Electrical charging/discharging properties of thin layers of spin coated pure PS polystyrene (PS), and pure poly(methyl methacrylate), (PMMA) and an immiscible PS/PMMA blend are studied with externally applied DC and dynamic(squarewave stress) X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). PS and PMMA exhibit quite different charging properties under DC stress. Due to the different charging properties of PS and PMMA domains within an immiscible PS/PMMA blend film, charge contrast or phase separation is clearly observed between domains. Electrical parameters of PS and PMMA thin films while employing a squarewave pulse stress in a 10-3 - 103 Hz range of frequency are probed by dynamic XPS. A model, which can simulate the dynamical XPS measurements, is shown to lead to obtain effective resistance and capacitance values for each polymer. RC time constants and inflection points(frequency) are also determined. Moreover, thickness also affects the charging/discharging properties and other electri...

Since no previous measurements are available, the assignment of the CO ν1 stretch frequency as determined by IR-spectroscopy for the stoichiometric and defective surfaces are aided by ab initio electronic structure calculations using density functional theory (DFT).
