Abstract

The analysis of the UV range spectral characteristics can supply additional information on the formed sub-surface buried layer with implanted dopants. The near-surface layer (50÷150 nm) of bulk polymer samples have been implanted with silicon (Si+) ions at low energies (E = 30 keV) and a wide range of ion doses (D = 1.1013 ÷ 1, 2.1017 cm−2). The studied polymer materials were: ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), poly-methyl-metacrylate (PMMA) and poly-tetra-fluor-ethylene (PTFE). The diffuse optical reflectivity spectra Rd = f(λ) of the ion implanted samples have been measured in the UV range (λ = 220÷350 nm). In this paper the dose dependences of the size and sign of the diffuse optical reflectivity changes λRd = f(D) have been analysed.
