Patterned growth of pentacene

Self-Limited Growth in Pentacene Thin Films

Pentacene is one of the most studied organic semiconducting materials. While many aspects of the film formation have already been identified in very thin films, this study provides new insight into the transition from the metastable thin-film phase to bulk phase polymorphs. This study focuses on the growth behavior of pentacene within thin films as a function of film thickness ranging from 20 t...

Structure, morphology, and growth dynamics of perfluoro-pentacene thin films

Patterned growth of horizontal ZnO nanowire arrays.

We report an approach to fabricating patterned horizontal ZnO nanowire arrays with a high degree of control over their dimensionality, orientation, and uniformity. Our method combines electron beam lithography and a low temperature hydrothermal decomposition. This approach opens up possibilities to fabricate ZnO NW array based strain and force sensors, two-dimensional photonic crystals, integra...

Controlled Neuron Growth By Patterned Protein Gradients

page 126 Abstract: Neuron guidance is mainly controlled by the growth cone, located at the end of an axon. Extra-cellular components, including proteins, control the directional growth of these neurons; this allows for the possibility to manipulate extra-cellular factors to aide in the accurate rewiring of damaged neurons. The objective of this project is to create a standard platform on which ...
