To study the energy distribution of deep traps, photostimulated discharge spectra of electron-beam and corona-charged polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene terephthalate (PETP) and cellular polypropylene (PP) films were recorded for wavelengths between 200 and 400 nm. In addition, space-charge profiles were measured using the piezoelectrically generated pressure-step (PPS) method in order to monitor the detrapping process. Strong discharge currents of up to 15 pA/cm/sup 2/ were found in PETP around the UV absorption edge near 310 nm. Initial results show a quantitative depopulation of near-surface charges, whereas only partial detrapping could be achieved for bulk charges. Three distinct trapping levels could be identified in PP films.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125920037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor structure is Al/sub 2/O/sub 3//ITO/CuPc/Al: ITO (indium-tin-oxide) film prepared by DC magnetron reactive sputtering was used as underside electrode, while CuPc film prepared by vacuum evaporation was used as the sensitive functional layer. The work function of ITO is high and close to the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level of CuPc. When there is an offset voltage between ITO and Al, holes were injected from ITO into CuPc and the holes accumulated at the surface of the CuPc, thus the surface resistivity of CuPc and the resistance of the gas sensor decreases greatly. The preparation method, sensitive mechanism and sensitivity properties were discussed. Compared to the traditional CuPc film NO/sub 2/ gas sensor (Al/sub 2/O/sub 3//Al/CuPc) this kind of sensor has better sensitivity, shorter response and recovery time, better humidity resistivity, and its resistance decreases by 3/spl sim/4 order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116679416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The space charge distributions in LDPE were quite different between corona charging and DC voltage charging. They also depended on the kind of low-density polyethylene, LDPE polymerized with the high-pressure process and m-LDPE polymerized with metallocene catalysts. The surface charge decay of corona-charged polyethylene is slower for m-LDPE than for LDPE. Especially, positive charge is very stable for m-LDPE.

The measurements have been carried out both on a macroscopic scale, using interferometry, and on a microscopic scale using atomic force microscopy. The interferometry results suggest that in samples exposed to a constant external electric field, the biased electrostrictive response causes a significant decrease in the apparent piezoelectric response. The atomic force microscope results allow the observation of electromechanical activity at the scale of the individual crystallites. Preliminary results from unpoled films suggest that the electrostrictive response is largest in the region at the interface of the crystalline and amorphous phases. A small piezoelectric response is also observed in this region, possibly arising from biased electrostriction.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124126148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
