Abstract:
Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) was employed to study the molecule alignment of carbozole and azobenzene disperse red polymer on the surface of rough silver thin film. According to the selection rule of optical transitions and experiment results, it was found that the surface geometry of carbozole and azobenzene disperse red polymer was: this was physical adsorption between the carbazole group, which is from the monomer of carbazole and nitro-group which is from the monomer of azobenzene on the surface of rough silver film, and there is almost no interaction between the principal chain and the substrate because of the distance. This geometrical configuration of CAP on the surface of the substrate was proposed to damage the stabilities and efficiency of azobenzene derivatives based optical storage devices.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
