Abstract

Films were prepared by the Xe-dilution method in an attempt to mimic the microstructure found in low-photodegradation deuterated films which show a greater number of clustered deuterium and microvoids when compared to conventional hydrogenated films. Common features were found for the light soaking behaviors in the film properties characterized by the electron spin resonance, gas thermal evolution, Raman spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy among deuterated, conventional hydrogenated, and Xe-diluted films.
