Fabrication of a Patterned Assembly of Semiconducting Organic Nanowires

A well-aligned semiconducting organic nanowire assembly is obtained by a simple, one-step soft lithographic method (see image). A patterned nanowire assembly that forms J-type intermolecular aggregation shows high birefringence, dichroism, polarized emission, and electrical conductivity (4.9 × 10−6 S cm−1).
