In-situ characterization of vapor-deposited glasses of toluene by differential AC chip nanocalorimetry — •Mathias Ahrenberg2, Heiko Huth2, Katie Whitaker1, Mark D. Ediger1, and Christoph Schick21University of Wisconsin - Madison — 2University of Rostock

We use ac nanocalorimetry to investigate extraordinarily stable glasses of toluene prepared by vapor deposition. For that purpose we have built a vapor deposition chamber that allows in-situ characterization of vapor-deposited organic glasses down to liquid nitrogen temperature. With highly sensitive nanocalorimeters in a differential setup, we are able to measure ng-samples over a frequency range from 0.1 Hz up to 8 kHz. The device was used to investigate the transformation of as-deposited stable toluene glasses into ordinary glasses. For films about 100 nm thick, the transformation was studied as a function of time at constant temperature above the common glass transition and as function of temperature at constant heating rate. The stability of the thin films was investigated as a function of substrate temperature and deposition rate.
