Organic Crystal Film Grown On Special New Substrate Breaks Performance Record

Default Futurism featured image
  • Scientists grew a high-quality, high-performing film of rubrene, an organic semiconductor, onto a substrate of hexagonal boron nitride
  • The interface between the substrate and the molecular film governs the initial nucleation during the growth of the film
  • To study how the film carries charge, graphene electrical contacts were incorporated into the growth process, resulting in a field-effect transistor structure
