(deg.)Ppastel-00527388, version 1 - 19 Oct 2010Figure 3.36: PMMA-DR1: deformation efficiency vs amplitude and polarization spatialmodulation. SRG growth rate: PMMA ( - estimated on the first 100 s), sol-gel(□); η pol (black dashed curve); η I (grey curve); η I + η pol (black solid curve).Figure 3.35 shows the calculated images of the deformation kinetics for a PMMA-DR1thin film having a thickness of ≃ 100 nm. Simulations are performed for both s andp polarizations and are compared with the experimental results obtained on samp<strong>les</strong> ofthe same thickness. The model seems to <strong>des</strong>cribe very well the matter migration phenomenaobserved with both polarizations. In particular, it <strong>des</strong>cribes the main featuresof the deformation kinetics: matter transport away from the illuminated areas (for bothpolarizations) and p-induced transport more efficient than s-induced transport. Moreover,in the case of s-polarized light the simulation reproduces the central groove withinthe reliefs, experimentally observed, which supports the <strong>les</strong>s efficient matter transportproduced by the E ⊥ field component.In Figure 3.36 we report the matter migration efficiency together with the variationof η I (grey curve) as a function of the polarization angle ϕ. We note a rather goodagreement between the variation of this parameter and the matter migration rate ()in PMMA. Very surprisingly, the sum η I + η pol (black solid curve) shows a remarkableagreement with the measured SRG growth rate.This indicates that in PMMA-DR1 the mass migration efficiency is governed by the superimpositionof two mechanisms: one which is well <strong>des</strong>cribed by a statistical directionalmatter migration model, depending mainly on the photoisomerization rate, i. e. on theintensity pattern, and the other which depends on the spatial distribution of the lightpolarization and is compatible with models based on microscopic transport mechanismsoriginating from the electromagnetic forces [8].
