Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…Since the triclinic rubrene exhibits a high roughness with a peak-to-valley value of 250 nm, which is detrimental to the dark current, strategies to control the crystal growth are developed. These investigations show that a suppression layer of 20 nm C60 is the most promising approach to successfully reduce the surface roughness while maintaining the triclinic phase, proven by grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS). …”
