A. Tsumura et al., MOLECULAR ORIENTED THIN-FILM OF BIPHENYL-4,4'-DITHIOL FABRICATED BY MOLECULAR-BEAM DEPOSITION METHOD, Chemistry Letters, (7), 1994, pp. 1223-1226
Biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol was deposited as a stacked molecular layer onto
several kinds of substrates by a molecular beam deposition method. It
was found that both the gold thin film and the potassium bromide (KBr)
single crystal were effective substrates for the control of the molec
ular orientation and also that the lattice constants of the substrate
were responsible for the control of crystallinity of biphenyl-4,4'-dit
hiol thin films.
