Abstract:In this paper we study the eOE ect of ultraviolet (UV) illumination on the microscopic structure of molecular layers of a photosensitive fragile polymeric glass former. In particular we show that the increased time relaxation and the reduced mobility of thin molecular multilayers recently reported using highprecision pump±probe ellipsometric experiments correlate with a geometrically induced layering eOE ect which was con®rmed by synchrotron X-ray re¯ectivity experiments. Furthermore the results agree also wit… Show more
