Fundamentals of Organic Film Growth and Characterisation

  • Chapter
Organic Nanostructures for Next Generation Devices

Part of the book series: Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 101))

Currently, technical applications of organic nanoaggregates are discussed for various purposes like displays, electronic circuits, sensors and optical waveguides. In all these cases, the optical and electronic properties (and also the combination of both) are decisive parameters. Why are the structural properties of the nanoaggregates so important? The reason is the strong relationship between the structure (arrangement of the molecules within the bulk state) of the nanoaggregates and the application-relevant properties: optical emission and electronic charge transport.
