Oriented growth of crystalline pentacene films with preferred a-b in-plane alignment on a rubbed crystalline polymethylene surface

We have achieved a growth of highly oriented crystalline pentacene thin films, with preferred a-b in-plane orientation with respect to the rubbing direction of a rubbed polymethylene surface. The polymethylene thin film, generated on a gold surface by gold-catalyzed decomposition of diazomethane, wa...

520 |a We have achieved a growth of highly oriented crystalline pentacene thin films, with preferred a-b in-plane orientation with respect to the rubbing direction of a rubbed polymethylene surface. The polymethylene thin film, generated on a gold surface by gold-catalyzed decomposition of diazomethane, was annealed and gently rubbed in a fixed direction by a flannelette cloth to serve as an alignment layer during the deposition of pentacene molecules. Various surface analysis techniques, including reflection absorption IR spectroscopy (RAIRS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), and atomic force microscopy were used to elucidate the structural details of the polymethylene and the pentacene thin films deposited on it. Two crystalline morphologies of pentacene thin film were observed: the minor one of rod-like molecular crystals having their long axes of the crystals perpendicular to the rubbing direction, and the dominant one of platelet-like and layered crystals having the molecular axes stand near vertical to the surface. Moreover, GIXD revealed that the rubbing on polymethylene indeed induced a preferential azimuthal alignment of pentacene crystallites. The deposition of pentacene at 25 degrees C led to a twin growth of crystallites with the [110] direction predominately aligned perpendicular to the rubbing direction. In contrast, the pentacene deposition at 50 degrees C produced twinned crystallites of lower twin angle and the [120] direction aligned parallel to the rubbing direction
