Issue Date: | 6-Jun-2005 | Citation: | Xie, X.N., Chung, H.J., Sow, C.H., Bettiol, A.A., Wee, A.T.S. (2005-06-06). Water-bridge-assisted ionic conduction in probe-induced conical polymer pattern formation. Advanced Materials 17 (11) : 1386-1390. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.200500204 | Abstract: | Water-assisted ion conduction in the formation of conical structures induced by the atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe on polymethyl methacrylates (PMMA) was analyzed. Water-assisted ion drift was found to be the predominant conduction mechanism for structure formation. The high current arising from water ionization provided effective Joule heating for polymer softening/melting. The results show that neither PMMA dissociation nor dielectric breakdown is involved in the conduction process. | Source Title: | Advanced Materials | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/112664 | ISSN: | 09359648 | DOI: | 10.1002/adma.200500204 |
