Structural Properties of Thin Films Obtained by Magnetron Sputtering of Polydiacetylene

Films obtained by radio-frequency sputtering of monocrystalline polydiacetylene (PDA) are under study. The structure is studied by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is shown that the obtained films have a heterogeneous structure containing agglomerates of nanosized inclusions of the initial PDA and irregular sp/sp(2) hybridized carbon chain fragments.
