CRC TRR 61 B01 - Patterned organic molecular architecture by vacuum deposition

Basic data for this project

Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster

Duration at the University of Münster: 01/07/2012 - 30/06/2017 | 2nd Funding period

Description

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.

Keywords: vacuum deposition; patterned organic molecular architecture; functional organic molecules; mesoscopic resolution; macroscopic areas; nucleation control; assemblies; photoluminescence; electroluminescence; photonic effects; charge carrier mobility
