چکیده

Morphological and structural control of organic semiconductors through structural templating is an efficient route by which to tune their physical properties. The preparation and characterisation of iron phthalocyanine (FePc)-copper iodide (CuI) bilayers at elevated substrate temperatures is presented. Thin CuI(111) layers are prepared which are composed of isolated islands rather than continuous films previously employed in device structures. Nucleation in the early stages of FePc growth is observed at the edges of islands rather than on the top (111) faces with the use of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Structural measurements show two distinct polymorphs of FePc, with CuI islands edges nucleating high aspect ratio FePc crystallites with modified intermolecular spacing. By combining high substrate temperature growth and micro-structuring of the templating CuI(111) layer structural and morphological control of the organic film is demonstrated.

New low-dimensional molecular metals: single-crystal electrical conductivity of nickel phthalocyanine iodide.

Single crystals of NiPcI(1.0) (Pc = phthalocyanine), which are composed of one-dimensional stacks of (NiPc)(+0.33) molecules and chains of I(3)(-) molecules, exhibit metallic electrical conductivity in the stacking direction. At room temperature the mean free path of the carrier is 3.3 to 8.2 angstroms.

Fabrication of Copper and Iron Nano/Micro Structures on Semiconducting Substrate and Their Electrical Characterization

In this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (Co and Fe) nano/ micro wires on Silicon substrate. Deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the Si substrate. Spin coated films were irradiated with 150MeV Ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8E7 ions/cm2, followed by UV irradiati...
