Excimer laser ablation (ELA) of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI), 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA) and perylene with 193(ArF), 248(KrF) and 308nni(XeCI) beams results in formation of amorphous semiconducting polymer thin films consisting of fine particles on several temperature-controlled substrates. The structure and electric conductivity of each prepared film depend considerably on the target material, ablation wavelength and substrate temperature. The films prepared on substrates at 300°C by ELA at 308nm from PTCDA and PTCDI partially contain polyperinaphthalene(PPN) structure with conductivity ranging from 10-1 to 10-2 Scm-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
