Charge Dynamics in Electron-Irradiated Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies of charge trapping and charge transport in polymer lms irradiated and charged with monoenergetic electrons of range smaller than the sample thickness and thereafter stored or annealed under various conditions are discussed. An analytical model used to describe the phenomena takes the following parameters into consideration: Charge and energy deposition pro les, charge drift due to a shallow-trap-modulated mobility, deep trapping without release, trap lling due to a nite trap density, and ohmic relaxation due to a radiation-induced conductivity during irradiation and its delayed component after irradiation. The model calculations show the e ect of various parameters on the shape of the initial charge distribution and on its evolution with annealing time. Experiments with the laser-induced pressure-pulse (LIPP) method on 12 and 25 m thick uorocarbon and polyimide lms, charged with 10 or 20 keV electron beams, respectively, yield the charge distributions after irradiation and the changes of the distributions due to annealing of the samples at 120 C for various times. A comparison of experimental and analytical results reveals the trapping kinetics and permits to estimate the deep-trap density and the -product, where is the trap-modulated mobility and is the trapping time.

Femtosecond non-equilibrium dynamics of clusters irradiated with short intense VUV pulses
The kinetic Boltzmann equation is used to model the non-equilibrium ionization phase that initiates the evolution of atomic clusters irradiated with single pulses of intense vacuum ultraviolet radiation. The duration of the pulses is ≤ 50 fs and their intensity in the focus is ≤ 10 14 W/cm 2. This statistical model includes various processes contributing to the sample dynamics at this particula...
متن کاملElectron beam irradiation method to change polypropylene application: Rheology and thermomechanical properties
Irradiation of polymers is one of the most effective and economical methods for modifying their properties and for changing their applications. In this study, an extrusion grade polypropylene (PP) was treated by electron beam irradiation to produce a PP suitable for injection molding. Irradiation was carried out at different doses (0-80 kGy) under atmosphere air and at ambient temperature. Melt...
متن کاملCharge accumulation in electron cryomicroscopy
When irradiated in a transmission electron microscope, plunge-frozen, amorphous water ice specimens accumulate a pattern of static charge that changes dynamically as the specimen is irradiated, and which can deflect the transmitted electrons and blur the resultant micrographs. Here we provide a physical description of this charge accumulation and characterise its dynamic behaviour in the contex...
متن کاملDynamical simulations of charged soliton transport in conjugated polymers with the inclusion of electron-electron interactions.
We present numerical studies of the transport dynamics of a charged soliton in conjugated polymers under the influence of an external time-dependent electric field. All relevant electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions are nearly fully taken into account by simulating the monomer displacements with classical molecular dynamics and evolving the wave function for the pi electrons by vir...
