Comparative Study on Structural Differences in Monosaccharide Layers Using PLD and PED Techniques.

ABSTRACT: To demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining low-molecular-weight organic films (below 200 Da) using non-solvent PVD processes, glucose layers were produced via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and pulsed electron beam deposition (PED) methods. Glucose was chosen due to its fundamental role in various biological processes, and because this low-molecular-weight compound is a solid at room temperature, which is required for both techniques. The physical and chemical structures of the deposited glucose layers were characterized by optical, scanning electron, and atomic force microscopy, as well as by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron, and infrared spectroscopy. Both PLD and PED methods resulted in glucose layers with good chemical structure preservation (with minor oxidation observed in PED)
