Abstract

The electronic and nuclear stopping effects produced by MeV ion bombardment in polyvinylidine chloride (PVDC) and polyethylene (PE) are separated by stacking thin films of the polymers. The resulting multi-layer laminates of each polymer were bombarded with 3.5 MeV alpha particles. The energy of the incident ions was selected, using TRIM, such that the first layers experienced most of the effects of the electronic energy deposited and the last layers received most of the effects of the nuclear stopping power. The changes in the conductance and the chemical structure of each layer were measured by direct resistivity measurements and Raman microprobe analysis.
