In this paper we present a study of the evolution of the IR and Raman spectrum of pentacene before, during and after irradiation with energetic ion beams, demonstrating the complex chemistry induced by incoming ions.

Dehydrogenation occurs and the evolution towards what we call an Ion Produced Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon is a function of the ion dose as well.

Abstract
In this paper we present a study of the evolution of the IR and Raman spectrum of pentacene before, during and after irradiation with energetic ion beams, demonstrating the complex chemistry induced by incoming ions. The formation of a ''new'' aromatic network has been evidenced. Dehydrogenation occurs and the evolution towards what we call an Ion Produced Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon is a function of the ion dose as well. The results my have noteworthy relevance in astrophysics in view of the presently believed widespread presence of PAHs and their compounds in ours as well as other galaxies.File in questo prodotto:
