Abstract

We investigated the morphology of polyethylene films by the Differential Evanescent Light Intensity (DELI) imaging method developed by us previously. The films were prepared by the Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique. Rough or smooth organic layers were fabricated with thickness depending on the deposition conditions. We used the DELI imaging method here as a fast, low cost method for surface morphology diagnostics of large areas (i.e., hundreds of mm2) of nano layer polyethylene films.
