Abstract: | Swift heavy ion beam irradiation induces modification in the dielectric properties and surface morphologies of polycarbonate (PC) films. The PC films were irradiated by 55 MeV energy of C5+ beam at various ions fluences ranging from 1 × 1011 to 1 × 1013 ions cm?2. The dielectric properties (i.e., dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and AC conductivity) and surface morphologies of pristine and SHI beam irradiated PC films were investigated by dielectric measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and optical microscopy. The dielectric measurements show that the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and AC conductivity increase with ion fluences and temperature, however, the dielectric constant and AC conductivity decrease while dielectric loss increases with frequency. AFM shows the increase in average roughness values with ion fluences. The change of color in PC films has been observed from colorless to yellowish and then dark brown with increases of ion fluence by using optical microscopy. |
