| Popis: | We report the morphologies and the bulk film effect on regioregular poly(3-dodecylthiophene) [RR-P3DDT] thin films fabricated with different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 wt%) by drop-casting method using chloroform as a solvent and fused quartz glass as substrate. The measured thicknesses of the films were 220, 340 and 600 nm. The thin films were characterized by UV–Vis spectra and X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of the thin film (600 nm) was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. The third order nonlinear susceptibility characteristics of the films were measured using Maker fringes method. These films exhibit efficient THG bulk effect with a maximum χ3 value of 1.41 × 10−10 esu obtained for 0.4 wt% concentration of RR-P3DDT revealing that this material is potentially suited for fabricating optical limiters. |
