Abstract
Communication: Highly anisotropic films of needle-like crystalline para-sex iphenyl (PSP)-a promising candidate for the electroactive layer in organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs)-can be produced using hot-wall epitaxy, as dem onstrated here (see Figure). Optical dichroic ratios of approximate to 11 i n absorption and up to 14 in emission are measured, which is of great signi ficance for the development of polarized LEDs.
