Surface Mobility and Nucleation of a Molecular Switch: Tetraaniline on Hematite
Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of organic thin film formation is crucial to quality control in organic electronics and smart coatings. We have studied the nucleation and growth of the reduced and the oxidized states of phenyl-capped aniline tetramer (PCAT) deposited on hematite(1000) surfaces by physical vapor deposition. The fully reduced PCAT molecules form 2D islands on the surface, whereas the fully oxidized molecules form 3D islands. Through …
