We are especially indebted to L. L. Sanchez-Soto and J. M. Zoido for their useful comments and suggestions. We want to express our gratitude to D. Garrido who provided us support to do AFM measurements. We also acknowledge R. Yag6e for her manuscript review. This work has been carried out with the financial support of BRITE Project BE 3599 BRITE 0120-C of the EEC and MAT9i-1389-CE.The dynamics of thermoplastic-photoconductor films is reviewed. A theory of thermoplastic film deformation is presented for a three-layer structure in air with modified boundary conditions. The amplitude of the deformation A versus the spatial frequency k is of bandpass type (A - k curve). The influence of the thickness of the layers and the heating and electric parameters on the A - k curve are analyzed. The predictions of the model are compared to others previously reported and with experimental data. The validity and limitations of the model are also discussed.engjournal articlehttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jap/75/9/10.1063/1.355979http://scitation.aip.org/open access535PhysicsAppliedÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
