摘要: Angle-resolved XPS and ToF-SIMS are employed to determine the impact of O 2 /CF 4 plasma treatment on P(VDF-TrFE) surface chemistry. Results indicate that chemical modification by increases percentage F at film surface, with grafted species remaining within first 5-10nm film. Analysis current-voltage I(V) data reveals high field conduction is an interfacially dominated phenomenon in modified thin films. A parametric study Schottky emission theory indicates change barrier height relative both material permittivity Richardson constant. quantification estimates a lowering 0.041eV due treatment, further supporting P(VDF -TrFE) films, can be significantly influenced via modification.
