Thermoluminescence of thin polymeric films obtained in a glow discharge plasma

The thermoluminescence and radiothermoluminescence were studied of thin polymeric films produced in a glow discharge plasma. It was shown that during the formation of polymeric films in the plasma, not only radical states but also ionic states are stabilized in them. Four luminescence maxima were detected on the radiothermoluminescence curves of the films. The possible assignment of the position of these maxima on a temperature scale to the relaxational transitions in the films is discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 24, No. 6, pp. 743–747, November–December, 1988.
