Discotic Mesophase Materials

this

Another kind of thalocyanine that is solution processable form molecules that self-organize into columnar stacks. This the kind of configuration that makes molecules good light absorbers and good conductors.
An AFM visualization of sheets discotic materials that have been deposited on a single crystal substrate.


Dendritic Polymers

Dendritic polymers create a spiky surface which may be able to be combined with an suitable electron acceptor layer to form a finely organized heterojunction.

Nanoparticles

Tailored interfaces
