[20p-W242-12] Uniaxial crystal growth in thin-film by utilizing supercooled state of mesogenic phthalocyanine
Keywords:thin-film,crystal growth,liquid crystalline
The mesogenic phthalocyanine, C6PcH2, is a promising organic material with a high hole mobility of 1.4 cm2V-2s-1. It tends to form a columnar structure and is processable in solution. The solution processed thin-film of C6PcH2 has a polycrystalline structure orienting in random directions, however, a molecular-aligned thin-film must be appropriate for realizing high performance devices. This work reports a method to control the alignment of C6PcH2 by applying the principle of crystal growth.
