“…Within these areas fibers grow into at least three different orientations, Figs. 6c) and d), probably because of an epitaxial relationship between the growing fibers and the mica substrate, similar to p-nP on NaCl and KCl 8,12,30. …”

The growth of nanoscopic oligophenylene and oligothiophene aggregates on muscovite mica by vacuum deposition has been investigated. In the case of para-phenylenes a dipole assisted self assembly generation of needle-like aggregates is observed on mica. At optimum fiber growth temperature phenylene aggregates grow in most cases without a layer of upright oriented molecules. In contrast, vacuum deposition of oligothiophenes results simultaneously in fibers of laying molecules as well as islands of upright molecules. Since both phenylenes and thiophenes are strongly polarizable but differ in the lattice parameters of the resulting crystalline overlayers a direct comparison between the two classes of molecules allows us to study the role of epitaxy on the growth of nanoaggregates. Besides straight aggregates we also observe thiophene rings on water and methanol treated mica surfaces, which consist of radially oriented, laying molecules.

“…The hot-wall method is a deposition technique under thermal equilibrium conditions and allows to grow highly ordered thin organic films. Therefore, the hot-wall method has been applied to grow well-ordered organic thin films such as parasexiphenyl [2,3], C 60 [4] and rubrene [5]. This growth method has also been applied for growth of Alq 3 films [6].…”

“…Recent investigations revealed that both, the needles and the terraced islands, are of single crystalline nature [16]. These single crystal needles could be of large interest for applications like nano-LEDs, wave guides and lasers [5,[17][18][19][20].…”
