Device-Oriented Studies on Electrical, Optical, and Mechanical Properties of Individual Organic Nanofibers

  • Chapter
Organic Nanostructures for Next Generation Devices

Organic nanofibers are promising candidates for future nanophotonic and nanoelectronic devices due to their optical, electrical, chemical, and morphological properties. Para-hexaphenylene (p6P) as well as diverse functionalized quaterphenylene molecules such as p-methyloxylated p-quaterphenylene (MOP4) [1] or p-chlorinated p-quaterphenylene (CLP4) [2] form well-aligned needles or “nanofibers” upon vacuum epitaxy on muscovite mica substrates [3, 4]. In this chapter we will use the words “nanofiber” and “needle” synonymously. The nanofibers consist of large single crystalline areas of molecules oriented nearly parallel to the substrate surface with typical dimensions of a few hundred nanometers in width, a few ten nanometers in height, and several hundred micrometers in length. Partly due to their crystalline order and morphology the nanofibers show photonic functionalities such as waveguiding [5–7], lasing [8] as well as nonlinear optical activity [9, 10].
