Molecular nanoclusters as precursors to conductive thin films and crystals
Source abstract
Abstract
The role of epitaxy and orientation in the morphologies of thin films of organic conductors such as TTF‐TCNQ (see Figure) is discussed. It is found that the anisotropy and direction of molecular bonding with respect to the interface, as well as interfacial interactions have a profound effect on the growth of the thin films. magnified image

7. In this and related publications Type‐I clusters refer to those wherein the molecular stacking axis is perpendicular to the substrate surface. In con trast Type‐II clusters arc those having the molecular stacking axis parallel to the substrate.
