Abstract

The optical band gap and carbon clusters behavior as a function of ion dose are examined for 40 keV boron, helium, and xenon ion-implanted polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) at the same ion doses of 3.13 × 1015, 6.25 × 1015, 1.25 × 1016, and 2.5 × 1016 ions/cm2. The values of E g opt and N ion are compared and analyzed. The effect of the ion mass on the carbonization processes in PMMA nanocomposite films formed by implantation of these ions as revealed from optical absorption measurements is considered.
