Polyperinaphthalene film formation by pulsed laser deposition with a target of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride

Abstract
Thin films of polyperinaphthalene (PPN) have been obtained by Nd:YAG pulsed laser deposition with a target of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride. Components of the films depend on the power and wavelength of the laser light, which is verified by absorption spectra, Raman scattering spectra, and in situ mass spectra. The optimum conditions for the PPN film formation is 10 mJ cm−2 at 266 nm.
