Effect of local structure of MnCl2-filled PVDF films on their optical, electrical, electron spin resonance, and magnetic properties
The filling level (W) dependence of the local structure of MnCl2 through the PVDF matrix was explored. The presence of alpha- and beta-PVDF crystalline phases were detected by X-ray diffraction, and it was confirmed by the infrared (IR) absorption spectra. A significant head-to-head content was implied by IR spectroscopy. Two filling, level-dependent optical energy gaps were found through the UV-VIS spectral investigation. An intrachain one-dimensional interpolaron hopping mechanism was assumed to proceed in the temperature range of 350-375 K. The calculated values of the charge carrier hopping distance were in the range of 6.5-9.7 nm. The temperature dependence of the direct current (dc) magnetic susceptibility exhibited a Curie-Weiss behavior. Positive values of the paramagnetic Curie temperature (theta(p)) for W up to 14.5% indicated the presence of a ferromagnetic interaction, while negative theta(p) obtained for higher W values suggested an antiferromagnetic interaction at lower temperature. The electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis revealed the existance of both isolated and aggregated Mn2+ ions within the PVDF matrix.
