M. A1 - Pietsch, Ullrich A1 - Rochon, Paul T1 - Nonlinear effects during inscription of azobenzene surface relief gratings N2 - Surface relief gratings were inscribed on azobenzene polymer films using a pulselike exposure of an Ar+ laser. The inscription process was initiated by a sequence of short pulses followed by much longer relaxation pauses. The development of the surface relief grating was probed by a He-Ne laser measuring the scattering intensity of the first- order grating peak. The growth time of the surface relief grating was found to be larger than the length of the pulses used. This unusual behavior can be considered as a nonlinear material response associated with the trans-cis isomerization of azobenzene moieties. In this study the polymer stress was assumed to be proportional to the number of cis-isomers. One-dimensional viscoelastic analysis was used to derive the polymer deformation. The rate of trans-cis isomerization increases with the intensity of the inscribing light; in the dark it is equal to the rate of thermal cis- trans isomerization. The respective relaxation times were estimated by fitting theoretical deformation curves to experimental data Y1 - 2004 SN - 1520-6106 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Henneberg, Oliver A1 - Geue, Thomas A1 - Pietsch, Ullrich A1 - Winter, Bernd T1 - Investigation of azobenzene side group orientation in polymer surface relief gratings by means of photoelectron spectroscopy N2 - The molecular orientation of azobenzene side groups in polymer films before (nonpatterned) and after (patterned) development of a surface relief grating has been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The photoemission spectra obtained for 60-100 eV photons of a patterned and a nonpatterned surface are similar when the polarization vector of the synchrotron light is parallel to the grating vector. However, for perpendicular excitation, considerable spectral intensity differences can be observed for 9-14 eV electron binding energy. The observed changes are attributed to the formation of well-oriented azobenzenes at the surface.

T1 - Simultaneous X-ray and visible light diffraction for the investigation of surface relief and density grating formation in azobenzene containing polymer films N2 - The development of surface relief and density patterns in azobenzene polymer films was studied by diffraction at two different wavelengths. We used x-ray diffraction of synchrotron radiation at 0.124 nm in combination with visible light diffraction at a wavelength of 633 nm. In contrast to visible light scattering x-ray diffraction allows the separation of a surface relief and a density grating contribution due to the different functional dependence of the scattering power. Additionally, the x-ray probe is most sensitive for the onset of the surface grating formation Y1 - 2006 UR - http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713644168~db=all U6 - https://doi.org/10.1080/15421400500383345 SN - 1542-1406 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Henneberg, Oliver A1 - Geue, Thomas A1 - Saphiannikova, Marina A1 - Pietsch, Ullrich A1 - Rochon, Paul A1 - Natansohn, Almeria T1 - Formation and dynamics of polymer surface relief gratings Y1 - 2001 SN - 0378-5963 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Henneberg, Oliver A1 - Chi, Li Feng A1 - Geue, Thomas A1 - Saphiannikova, Marina A1 - Pietsch, Ullrich A1 - Rochon, Paul A1 - Natansohn, Almeria T1 - Atomic force microscopy inspection of the early state of formation of polymer surface relief grating Y1 - 2001 ER -
