AFM结果表明, 在200 nm或更厚的薄膜中, PCL主要以侧立(edge-on)片晶的方式生长; 对于厚度小于200 nm的薄膜, PCL片晶更倾向于以平躺(flat-on)的方式生长. 这种片晶生长方式的改变在硅片和铝箔基板上都表现出同样的倾向. 此外, 在15 nm或更薄的薄膜中, PCL结晶由通常的球晶结构变为树枝状晶体. 偏光ATR-FTIR结果表明, 当膜厚小于200 nm时, 薄膜结晶中PCL分子链沿垂直于基板表面方向取向, 并且膜越薄, 取向程度越高, 与AFM的观测结果一致.

Simulated glass transition in free‐standing thin polystyrene films

In this article, we investigate the glass transition in polystyrene melts and free‐standing ultra‐thin films by means of large‐scale computer simulations. The transition temperatures are obtained from static (density) and dynamic (diffusion and orientational relaxation) measurements. As it turns out, the glass transition temperature of a 3 nm thin film is ～60 °K lower than that of the bulk. Local orientational mobility of the phenyl bonds is studied with the help of Legendre polynomials of the second‐order P₂(t). The α and β relaxation times are obtained from the spectral density of P₂(t). Our simulations reveal that interfaces affect α and β‐relaxation processes differently. The β relaxation rate is faster in the center of the film than near a free surface; for the α relaxation rate, an opposite trend is observed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The interactions between Z-Tetraol perfluoropolyether lubricant and amorphous nitrogenated- and hydrogenated-carbon surfaces and silicon nitride

The interactions that occur between the hydroxyl-terminated perfluoropolyether Z-Tetraol and the ion beam-deposited amorphous hydrogenated CHx, sputtered amorphous nitrogenated carbon CNx, and sputtered amorphous silicon nitride SiNx surfaces, are investigated via surface energy measurements, kinetic measurements, and ab initio calculations. The film thickness dependence of the Z-Tetraol dispersive surface energy can be fit using a repulsive van der Waals potential, where the repulsion between the Z-Tetraol main chain and the underlying surface increases in the order: CHx (IBC) < CNx < SiNx, due to the increased average separation between the lubricant main chain and the underlying surface. Ab initio calculations on model dimers quantify the separation distances and binding energy of the lubricant/surface interactions. The Z-Tetraol thickness dependence of the polar surface energy indicates that strong polar interactions occur between the applied lubricant and the underlying surface. The decrease in the polar surface energy is correlated to the increased level of bonding between the hydroxyl end groups of Z-Tetraol and the polar sites of the underlying surface. Further analysis of the surface energy data identifies the critical film thickness at which film instability occurs to be near 17.5±1.0 Å for the 2200 molecular weight of Z-Tetraol on the various surfaces. Images of the disk surfaces showing the evolution of lubricant droplets due to dewetting corroborate the surface energy data analysis.     

Thickness-dependent molecular chain and lamellar crystal orientation in ultrathin poly(di-n-hexylsilane) films

The molecular chain and lamellar crystal orientation in ultrathin films (thickness < 100 nm) of poly-(di-n-hexylsilane) (PDHS) on silicon wafer substrates have been investigated by using transmission electronic microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and UV absorption spectroscopy. PDHS showed a film thickness-dependent molecular chain and lamellar crystal orientation. Lamellar crystals grew preferentially in flat-on orientation in the monolayer ultrathin films of PDHS, i.e., the silicon backbones were oriented along the surface-normal direction. By contrast, the orientation of lamellar crystals was preferentially edge-on in ultrathin films thicker than ca. 13 nm, i.e., the silicon backbones were oriented parallel to the substrate surface. We interpret the different orientations of molecular chain and lamellar crystal as due to the reduction of the entropy of the polymer chain near the substrate surface and the particularity of the crystallographic (001) plane of flat-on lamellae, respectively. A remarkable influence of the orientations of the silicon backbone on the UV absorption of these PDHS ultrathin films was observed due to the one-dimensional nature of sigma-electrons delocalized along the silicon backbone. With the silicon backbones perpendicular or parallel to the surface of the substrate, the UV absorbance increased or decreased with an increase of the angle between the incident UV beam direction and direction normal to the thin film, respectively.

Crystal growth rate in ultrathin films of poly(ethylene oxide)

Many dynamical properties of polymers, including segmental relaxation and chain diffusion, exhibit anomalies in thin‐film samples. We extend the studies of thin‐film dynamics to the case of semicrystalline polymers and present a study of the crystal growth rate for thin films of poly(ethylene oxide). We used optical microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance techniques to characterize the kinetics of crystallization for films with thicknesses from 40 to 1000 nm for a range of temperatures near the melting point. A remarkable slowing down of the crystal growth is observed at all temperatures studied for films with a thickness of less than ～100 nm. The results can be used to suggest reductions of the mobility of chains at the crystal/amorphous interface. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 39: 2615–2621, 2001     

Local dynamic mechanical properties in model free-standing polymer thin films

High-frequency sinusoidal oscillations of a coarse-grained polymer model are used to calculate the local dynamic mechanical properties (DMPs) of free-standing polymer thin films. The storage modulus G(') and loss modulus G(") are examined as a function of position normal to the free surfaces. It is found that mechanically soft layers arise near the free surfaces of glassy thin films, and that their thickness becomes comparable to the entire film thickness as the temperature approaches the glass transition T(g). As a result, the overall stiffness of glassy thin films decreases with film thickness. It is also shown that two regions coexist in thin films just at the bulk T(g); a melt-like region (G(')G(")) in the middle of the film. Our findings on the existence of a heterogeneous distribution of DMPs in free-standing polymer thin films provide insights into recent experimental measurements of the mechanical properties of glassy polymer thin films.     

Water molecule clusters measured at water/air interfaces using atomic force microscopy

During the tip approach to hydrophobic surfaces like the water/air interface, the measured interaction force reveals a strong attraction with a range of approximately 250 nm at some points along the interface. The range of this force is approximately 100 times larger than the measured for gold (approximately 3 nm) and 10 times larger than the one for hydrophobic silicon surfaces (approximately 25 nm). At other points the interface exerts a medium range repulsive force growing stepwise as the tip approaches the interface plane, consequently the hydrophobic force is a strong function of position. To explain these results we propose a model where the force on the tip is associated with the exchange of a small volume of the interface with a dielectric permittivity epsilon(int) by the tip with a dielectric permittivity epsilon(tip). By assuming a oscillatory spatial dependence for the dielectric permittivity it is possible to fit the measured force profiles. This dielectric spatial variation was associated with the orientation of the water molecules arrangement in the interfacial region. Small nanosized hydrogen-bond connected cages of water molecules present in bulk water at the interface are oriented by the interfacial electric field generated by the water molecules broken bonds, one broken hydrogen bond out of every four. This interfacial field orients small clusters formed by approximately 100 water molecules into larger clusters (approximately 100 nm). In the limit of small (less than 5 nm thick) water molecule cages we have modeled the static dielectric permittivity (epsilon) as the average response of those cages. In these regions the dielectric permittivity for water/air interfaces decreases monotonically from the bulk value epsilon approximately 80 to approximately 2 at the interface. For regions filled with medium size cages, the tip senses the structure of each cage and the static dielectric permittivity is matched to the geometrical features of these cages sized approximately 25 to 40 nm. Interfacial electric energy density values were calculated using the electric field intensity and the dielectric permittivity obtained by the fitting of the experimental points. The integration of the electric energy density along the interfacial region gives a value of 0.072 J m(-2) for interfacial energy density for points where the hydrophobic force has a range of approximately 250 nm. Regions formed by various clusters result in lower values of the interfacial energy density.     

Relative Molecular Orientations in Organic Optoelectronic Films Probed via Polarization-Selected UV/IR Mixed Frequency Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Molecular packing patterns are crucial factors determining electron/energy transfer processes that are critical for the optoelectronic properties of organic thin film devices. Herein, the polarization-selective ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixed frequency ultrafast spectroscopy is applied to investigate the relative molecular orientations in two organic thin films of 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (DEAC) and perylene. The signal anisotropy changes caused by intermolecular energy/electron transfers are utilized to calculate the cross angles between the electronic transition dipole moment of the donor and the vibrational transition dipole moments of the acceptor, yielding the relative orientation between two adjacent molecules. Using this method, the relative orientation angle in DEAC film is determined to be 53.4\begin{document}$ ^\circ $\end{document}, close to 60\begin{document}$ ^\circ $\end{document} of its single crystalline structure, and that of the perylene film is determined to be 6.2\begin{document}$ ^\circ $\end{document}, also close to \begin{document}$ - $\end{document}0.2\begin{document}$ ^\circ $\end{document} of its single crystalline structure. Besides experimental uncertainties, the small difference between the angles determined by this method and those of single crystals also results from the fact that the thin film samples are polycrystalline where some of the molecules are amorphous.     

Nanometer-resolved interfacial fluidity

Confined liquids can have properties that are poorly predicted from bulk parameters. We resolve with 0.5 nm resolution the nanoscale perturbations that interfaces cause on fluidity, in thin 3-methylpentane (3MP) films. The films of glassy 3MP are much less viscous at the vacuum-liquid interface and much more viscous at the 3MP-metal interface, compared to the bulk of the film. We find that the viscosity at the interfaces continuously returns to the bulk value over about a 3 nm distance. The amorphous 3MP films are constructed using molecular beam epitaxy on a Pt(111) substrate at low temperatures (<30 K). Ions are gently inserted at specific distances from the substrate with a 1 eV hydronium (D(3)O(+)) or Cs(+) ion beam. The voltage across the film, which is directly proportional to the position of the ions within the film, is monitored electrostatically as the film is heated at a rate of 0.2 K/s. Above the bulk glass transition temperature (T(g)) of 3MP (77 K), the ions are expected to begin to move down through the film. However, ion movement is observed at temperatures as low as 50 K near the vacuum interface, well below the bulk T(g). The fitted kinetics predict that at 85 K, the glass is about 6 orders of magnitude less viscous near the free interface compared to that of the bulk.
