Directional Crystallization of Conjugated Molecules during Coating Processes

The coating of organic molecules from the solution phase can result in directional crystal growth under certain conditions, even on a smooth isotropic surface and without the need of any kind of graphoexpitaxial preparation of the substrate. Based on reviewing the results from a variety of coating t...

description The coating of organic molecules from the solution phase can result in directional crystal growth under certain conditions, even on a smooth isotropic surface and without the need of any kind of graphoexpitaxial preparation of the substrate. Based on reviewing the results from a variety of coating techniques and coating parameters, we identified that it is crucial for the coating speed to match the growth speed of the fastest growing crystal plane to achieve a high degree of directional crystallization.
