졸-겔공정에 의해 실리카 구조체에 도입된 유기 NLO 물질의 특성

Characteristics of Organic NLO Materials in Silica Matrix Prepared by Sol-gel Process

반응성과 성형성이 우수한 졸-겔법을 이용하여 비선형 광학물질인MNA(2-Methyl-4-nitro-aniline), Carbazole 1(5-Nitro-9-hydroxyethyl Carbazole), Carbazole 2(5-Nitro-9-ethyl Carbazole) 그리고 DR1(Disperse Red 1)을 Silica matrix에 조합시킨 유-무기계 복합박막을 제조하였다. 이들 유-무기계 복합박막의 열적 안정도와 분해정도를 비교한 결과 -OH기를 갖는 Carbazole 1과 DR 1이 열분해에 대한 안정성이 우수하다는 것을 알았다. Carbazole 1의 편극화 처리로 UV 흡광도의 현저한 감소가 일어났고 상온에서 전기장을 제거하자 UV 흡광도의 느린 회복이 발견되었다.

Organic nonlinear optical materials such as MNA(2-Methyl-4-nitro-aniline), Carbazole 1(5-Nitro-9-hydroxyethyl Carbazole), Carbazole 2(5-Nitro-9-ethyl Carbazole) and DR 1(Disperse Red 1) were incorporated into silica matrix to form a composite thin films. The thermal stability and degree of degradation were compared to these organic-inorganic composite film. Among those films, Carbazole 1 and DR 1 which have terminal -OH group showed enhanced stability for thermal degradation. The effect of polarization and degree of relaxation for the composite thin films incorporated with Carbazole 1 were measured by the absorbance change of UV spectra with time. With polarization treatment of Carbazole 1 incorporated composite film, the intensity of UV absorbance was remarkably reduced. And slow relaxation of Carbazole 1 molecule was suggested from the slightly recovered intensity of UV absorbance after removing the electric field at rooma temperature.
