The purpose of this project is to achieve site-selective patterning of functional organic molecules with mesoscopic resolution over macroscopic areas by nucleation control in vacuum deposition as well as to understand the underlying mechanisms. We will focus on the following three aspects: Establishing general rules for patterned growth of organic molecular assemblies in vacuum deposition, including selection and design of functional organic molecules in collaboration with chemistry groups; Quantitative understanding of the mechanisms based on Monte Carlo simulations as well as analytical and numerical concentration field calculations; Demonstrating advanced functions, such as enhanced photo- or electroluminescence, photonic effects and improved charge carrier mobility.
