Seamless growth of a supramolecular carpet

The potential of organic molecular devices are limited by our inability to uniformly arrange them as thin films on metals, especially over imperfect surfaces. Here, the authors demonstrate the growth of a self-organized molecular carpet, which can extend over steps and terraces while retaining regul...

description The potential of organic molecular devices are limited by our inability to uniformly arrange them as thin films on metals, especially over imperfect surfaces. Here, the authors demonstrate the growth of a self-organized molecular carpet, which can extend over steps and terraces while retaining regularity.
