Effect of the Orientation of CdSe Nanorods on the Electron Mobility of CdSe/P4VP Nanodomains Self‐Assembled within a Poly(styrene‐b‐4‐vinylpyridine) Diblock Copolymer Thin Film

Self-assembled and aligned in a block! Self-assembled CdSe nanorods within the poly(4-vinylpyridine) nanodomains of a poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer thin film can be aligned under the influence of the polarization forces created by an applied electric field. The electron mobilities of the CdSe/poly(4-vinylpyridine) nanodomains in the out-of-plane cases were about eight times larger than those in the in-plane cases.
