Abstract

Vapor deposited thin films (∼100 nm thickness) of toluene and ethylbenzene grown by physical vapor deposition show enhanced stability with respect to samples slowly cooled from the liquid at a rate of 5 K min−1. The heat capacity is measured in situ immediately after growth from the vapor or after re-freezing from the supercooled liquid at various heating rates using quasi-adiabatic nanocalorimetry. Glasses obtained from the vapor have low enthalpies and large heat capacity overshoots that are shifted to high temperatures. The stability is maximized at growth temperatures in the vicinity of 0.8 Tg for both molecules, although glasses of ethylbenzene show superior stabilization. Our data is consistent with previous results of larger organic molecules suggesting a generalized behavior on the stability of organic glasses grown from the vapor. In addition, we find that for the small molecules analyzed here, slowing the growth rate below 0.1 nm s−1 does not result in increased thermodynamic stability.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
