@book{SmertenkoFenenkoBrehmeretal.2005, author = {Smertenko, P. and Fenenko, L. and Brehmer, Ludwig and Schrader, Sigurd}, title = {Differential approach to the study of integral characteristics in polymer films}, year = {2005}, abstract = {The differential approach is based on the determination of dimensionless differential slope, for instance, of current-voltage characteristics (IVC), I=f(V). This slope (a) is given by formula alpha=d(lgI)/d(lgV). With such definition the ranges of constancy of the a(V) dependency correspond to the part of IVC characterized by the power behaviour (I similar to V-alpha). The differential slope of alpha(V) dependency gamma = d(lg alpha)/dlgV determines the exponent behaviour of curve (I similar to exp {eV(y)/kT}). Processing by the differential approach of the investigated theoretical or experimental characteristics permits us to determine the peculiarity of charge flow mechanisms, temperature behaviour of conductivity, etc. The theoretical base and some applications of differential approach to the investigation of the current-voltage, temperature and degradation characteristics of the polyaniline and poly(p- phenilenevinilene) based structures have been shown.

The optically induced switching of material properties is important for studying the optoelectronic effects including second harmonic generation. Organic materials for photonic applications contain chromophore dipole which consist of acceptor and donor groups bridged by a delocalized pi-electron system. Both theoretical and experimental data show a reversible highly dipolar photoinduced intra molecular charge transfer in betaine type molecules accompanied by change of the sign and the value of the dipole moment. The arrangement of polar molecules in films is studied both by atom force microscopy and surface potential measurements. To understand the photo response of these materials, their spectroscopic and electrical properties are studied. The morphology and photoinduced surface potential switching of the self-assembled monolayers and polymer films are investigated. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved}, language = {en} }
