Abstract
Plasma-polymerized m-xylene (PPm-X) thin films have been prepared usin g a dry and flawless process. Films were smooth and of light-tea colou r. UV-Vis spectroscopic investigations have been carried out on unanne aled, annealed and aged PPm-X thin films to ascertain the effect of an nealing temperature and aging on the optical properties of PPm-X. The bandgap, allowed direct transition energy gap and indirect transition energy gap have been determined. The results are discussed in the ligh t of possible structural modification in PPm-X thin film on annealing and aging.
