Concept of Embedded Dipoles as a Versatile Tool for Surface Engineering
Egbert Zojer, Andreas Terfort, Michael Zharnikov
Abstract
, they can reduce contact resistances by several orders of magnitude without adversely affecting film growth even on flexible substrates. By varying the orientation of the embedded dipolar moieties, it is also possible to build p- and n-type organic transistors using the same electrode materials (Au). The extensions of the embedded-dipole concept from hybrid interfaces to systems such as metal-organic frameworks is currently underway, which further underlines the high potential of this approach.
