Ionic desorption in valence- and core- excited polymers: poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinylidene chloride)

Photon stimulated ion desorption (PSID) studies have been performed in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) using synchrotron radiation, covering from valence to core electron (Cl 2p and C 1s) energy ranges. Data acquisition was performed at the TGM beam line from the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS), operating in a multi-bunch mode and using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). A new pulsed system developed uses as a trigger for the TOF-MS experiments the pulsed extraction high voltage applied to the sample. Ionic desorption from PVC and PVDC shows strong selectivity in the formation of chlorine ions around the Cl 2p-edge while very similar fragmentation patterns are observed for the other energies studied.
