Post-Growth Dynamics and Growth Modeling of Organic Semiconductor Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: The ability to control the properties of organic thin films is crucial for obtaining highly performant thin-film devices. However, thin films may experience post-growth processes, even when the most sophisticated and controlled growth techniques such as organic molecular beam epitaxy (OMBE) are used. Such processes can modify the film structure and morphology and, thus, the film properties ultimately affecting device performances. For this reason, probing the occurrence of post-growth evolution is essential. Equally importantly, the processes responsible for this evolution should be addressed in view of finding a strategy to control and, possibly, leverage them for driving film properties. Here, nickel-tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) thin films grown by OMBE on highly oriented pyrolytic graph
