Organic Nanostructures for Next Generation Devices

Here is the first comprehensive overview of the fabrication, fundamental properties, and applications of a new class of nanoscaled organic materials that holds huge promise for optical and electrical applications. By using controlled self-assembled growth on single crystal surfaces, fiber-like structures are fabricated with macroscopic lengths up to millimeter size, mesoscopic widths of mere hundreds of nanometers, and nanoscopic heights of tens of nanometers. The extraordinary beauty of th...
