Radiolysis or ionization is the primary mechanism by which these materials are damaged under electron irradiation. Moreover, the image resolution of these materials in a TEM is determined by radiation damage. In the following work we determine the radiation sensitivity and damage mechanism for a single crystal organic material 3,6-bis (5-(4-n-butylphenyl) thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis (2-ethylhexyl) pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DPP-PR) majorly used for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications as a donor material. We provide a complete experimental and analysis procedure for radiation damage study by utilizing electron diffraction patterns. First at 120KeV, we learn that the critical dose value doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t change significantly with the dose rate. The critical dose is independent of the dose rate. Second, we experimentally determine critical dose (D_e) values 3 (e^-/\u00e3\u20ac\u2013A^o\u00e3\u20ac\u2014^2 ) and 6 (e^-/\u00e3\u20ac\u2013A^o\u00e3\u20ac\u2014^2 ) at electron energies of 120KeV and 200KeV respectively. We find the increase in the value of the critical dose, which indicates an increase in the resistance of the material to radiation damage at higher electron energies. The ionization mechanism causes the breakage of the bonds of the DPP polymer leading to the loss of crystalline structure. We also conducted the experiment at low temperature of -175\u00e2\u201e\u0192 at 120KeV. And the determined critical dose value is 8(e^-/\u00e3\u20ac\u2013A^o\u00e3\u20ac\u2014^2 ). Hence we confirm that reducing the temperature is effective to reduce radiation damage for the polymers."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:05Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Gersappe, Dilip"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Vishnubhotla, sai bharadwaj"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:05Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:50:05Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"68 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/76351"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2015-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:50:05Z (GMT).
