F. Chao et al., ROLE OF POLY-3-METHYLTHIOPHENE STRUCTURE DETERMINED BY AFM ON THE DIELECTRIC-CONSTANT SPECTRA, Electrochimica acta, 39(2), 1994, pp. 197-209
The structure of PMeT films were studied by AFM at different stages of
the electrodeposition process: nucleation, first layer and successive
thicker layers were imaged. Dielectric constant spectra were determin
ed by spectroscopic ellipsometry for the corresponding depositions. Th
e analysis of results identifies differences between intrinsic propert
ies, (such as the energy of optical transitions), which do not depend
on structure and effective properties, (such as the absolute values of
dielectric constants), which depend greatly on it.
