Transport in α-Sexithiophene Films

چکیده
The field-effect mobility of hole polarons in α-sexithiophene, measured in thin film transistors, was shown to be well fitted by Holstein’s small polaron theory. Unfortunately, Holstein’s formulation is based on an integral that does not converge. We show that the data are well fitted by a theory of polaron transport that was successful in accounting for mobility in molecular crystals

Selective Growth of α-Sexithiophene by Using Silicon Oxides Patterns
A process for fabricating ordered organic films on large area is presented. The process allows growing sexithiophene ultra-thin films at precise locations on patterned Si/SiO(x) substrates by driving the orientation of growth. This process combines the parallel local anodic oxidation of Si/SiO(x) substrates with the selective arrangement of molecular ultra-thin film. The former is used to fabri...
متن کاملTemplating Effects of α‐Sexithiophene in Donor−Acceptor Organic Thin Films
Small-molecule organic photovoltaic cells often employ a planar heterojunction (PHJ) geometry where the electron donor and acceptor materials are stacked one on top of the other. The thin-film growth scenario of such PHJs can be very different from the one of a single compound on a bare substrate. We have investigated the growth of PHJs, consisting of two different donor−acceptor pairs, namely,...
متن کاملFabrication of Oriented Thin Films Composed of Polyfluorene and Oligothiophene, and Application for Polarized White Light Emitting Devices
We have been studying the production of oriented films of various conjugated polymers by means of the friction transfer technique. The method has been applied to produce oriented poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) films which were then used to produce devices that emit polarized blue light. We fabricate oriented films composed of PFO and sexithiophene (6T), which is an orange emitting dye, for pro...
متن کاملLayer-Resolved Evolution of Organic Thin Films Monitored by Photoelectron Emission Microscopy and Optical Reflectance Spectroscopy
Photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) and differential (optical) reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) have proven independently to be versatile analytical tools for monitoring the evolution of organic thin films during growth. In this paper, we present the first experiment in which both techniques have been applied simultaneously and synchronously. We illustrate how the combined PEEM and DRS resul...
متن کاملUltrasonic force microscopy: detection and imaging of ultra-thin molecular domains.
The analysis of the formation of ultra-thin organic films is a very important issue. In fact, it is known that the properties of organic light emitting diodes and field effect transistors are strongly affected by the early growth stages. For instance, in the case of sexithiophene, the presence of domains made of molecules with the backbone parallel to the substrate surface has been indirectly e...
