Organic‐organic heteroepitaxy: facts, concepts and perspectives

Crystal Research and Technology (impact factor: 0.95). 01/2011; 46(8):827 - 832. DOI:10.1002/crat.201000581 pp.827 - 832

ABSTRACT Organic-organic heteroepitaxy can represent the winning technique for growing crystalline and oriented heterostructures of organic semiconductors. However, a sound physical interpretation of mechanisms that control epitaxy is still missing for these low symmetry molecular systems, generally not obeying the usual lattice matching rules for inorganic systems. We discuss here a couple of paradigmatic examples of organic-organic heteroepitaxy suggesting a possible physical rationale for the formation of the heterostructure interfaces as it arises from experimental characterization and computer modeling with atom-atom potential simulations.
