Abstract

With photoelectron spectroscopy, we study the interface chemistry of the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) and different electrode materials. We compare the interfaces aluminum/P(VDF-TrFE) and PEDOT:PSS/P(VDF-TrFE). PEDOT:PSS is a conductive polymer (Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate)). The data sug-gest that we have an interface layer for electrodes, made of aluminum. An interface reaction occurs in both cases: for aluminum as top and as bottom electrode. In contrast, the organic PE-DOT:PSS electrode shows no chemical interaction with the P(VDF-TrFE) polymer. The much lower reactivity of organic electrodes, compared to aluminum, gives a direct hint to im-proved functional properties of thin organic ferroelectric films.
