abstract = {Ultra-thin metal layers on polymer thin films attract
tremendous research interest for advanced flexible
optoelectronic applications, including organic
photovoltaics, light emitting diodes and sensors. To realize
the large-scale production of such metal–polymer hybrid
materials, high rate sputter deposition is of particular
interest. Here, we witness the birth of a metal–polymer
hybrid material by quantifying in situ with unprecedented
time-resolution of 0.5 ms the temporal evolution of
interfacial morphology during the rapid formation of
ultra-thin gold layers on thin polystyrene films. We monitor
average non-equilibrium cluster geometries, transient
interface morphologies and the effective near-surface gold
diffusion. At 1 s sputter deposition, the polymer matrix has
already been enriched with $1\%$ gold and an intermixing
layer has formed with a depth of over 3.5 nm. Furthermore,
we experimentally observe unexpected changes in aspect
ratios of ultra-small gold clusters growing in the vicinity
of polymer chains. For the first time, this approach enables
four-dimensional insights at atomic scales during the gold
growth under non-equilibrium conditions.},
