P. Lang et al., ORIENTATION AND STRUCTURE OF THIN-FILMS OF ALPHA,OMEGA-DIHEXYL SEXITHIOPHENE DEPOSITED ONTO PTFE ORIENTED BY FRICTION, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1286-1290
We analyze the influence of hexyl chains in terminal positions of a se
xithiophene (DHS) on the orientation and structure of the evaporated f
ilm onto a thin layer of PTFE oriented by friction. When the substrate
is cooled, the alkyl chains disorganize the film whereas at room temp
erature, the chains improve the orientation and epitaxial organization
of molecular film towards the PTFE.
