Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science book series (SSMATERIALS,volume 173)

Abstract

In this chapter the potential of Organic–Organic heteroepitaxy is discussed concerning the ability to provide efficient color tuning of organic nano-fibers deposited on muscovite mica substrates. The first part is focused on the epitaxial growth of rod-like molecules on sheet silicates which has been analyzed by depositing p-6P and 6T using hot-wall epitaxy. It is demonstrated that substituting para-phenylenes by other molecules for efficient color tuning is not trivial leading in the general case to multidirectional nano-fibers. The presented growth model is based on detailed analysis using XRD pole-figure measurements, atomic force microscopy and force-field simulations. In the second part it is demonstrated that organic–organic heteroepitaxy provides a proper method for efficient color tuning of organic nano-fibers. It is shown that using p-6P nano-fiber templates can be used as fundament for the epitaxial growth of 6T crystallites. The formed 6T crystallites adopt the molecular and morphological orientation of the p-6P layer beneath and provide highly polarized emission in the blue, green, and red spectral range.
