INTRODUCTION Photoemission, particularly light polarization dependent photoemission (1), (2), can be very successful in establishing that the highly dipole-ordered polymers, prepared by Langmuir Blodgett techniques (3), (4), have dipoles oriented along the surface normal, particularly at temperature well below room temperature (~100 K).
In a recently reported study, (30) FTIR spectroscopy was used to complement X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize acrylic acid thin films deposited by RF plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition, as part of an investigation into surface engineering of polymeric film coatings and its influence on protein attachment kinetics for biomedical applications.
Although it has been known for some time that dynamic screening has a large effect on photoemission from valence levels [32], it is a surprise to see a 30 % effect given that the index of refraction of tungsten at, e.
