Abstract
Highly oriented thin films of tetrathiafulvalene tetracyanoquinodimethane ( TTF-TCNQ) and of p-nitrophenyl nitronyl nitroxide (p-NPNN) have been grown on alkali halide substrates by vapor deposition techniques. Their surfaces reveal clearly differentiated morphologies, as measured with tapping mode a tomic force microscopy (TMAFM), exhibiting different kinds of defects. Howe ver, the films order in similar layered molecular structures parallel to th e substrate plane. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
