Relaxation of surface tracks on polycarbonate thin films induced by MeV heavy-ion impacts
Abstract
In the present work, the relaxation behavior of nanometer-sized deformations produced by single ion impacts on the surface of monodisperse (Mw=60,000u) polycarbonate thin films was investigated at temperatures close to and below the glass transition. The relaxation functions for the length, height and width of the deformations were well described by a stretched exponential law, with characteristic relaxation times τ strongly dependent on …
