The transport properties of phthalocyanine heterojunctions are precisely tuned via engineering of the organic heterostructure. Conductive AFM techniques allow identifying transport mechanisms and performing nanoscale spatial mapping of carrier mobility.

The structures of 5,5′-bis(naphth-2-yl)- 2,2′-bithiophene (NaT2), 5,5″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2′-terthiophene (NaT3), 5,5‴-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-tetrathiophene (NaT4), 5,5″″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴:5‴,2″″-quinquethiophene (NaT5) and 5,5′″″-bis(naphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴:5‴,2″″:5″″,2′″″-sexithiophene (NaT6) have been optimized at PBE1PBE/6-31G* level of theory. By increasing the chain length (thiophene units) energy gap decreases. The hole reorganization energy also decreases from NaT2–NaT6 . We have observed that mobility of NaT5 and NaT6 can be enhanced by minimizing the polarization and relaxation. The end-capped naphthyl groups have been rotated from 0°–60° in the case study of NaT2 , it was found that hole reorganization energy increases with the increment in angle. Furthermore the charge transport properties of 5,5′-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′-bithiophene (TNT2), 5,5″-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene (TNT3), and 5,5‴-bis(thionaphth-2-yl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-quaterthiophene (TNT4) have been investigated at the same level of theory. It has been studied that cis isomers have higher hole reorganization energies as compared to trans ones thus these isomers would diminish the mobility.

Treelike structures abound in natural as well as man-made transport systems, which have fascinated multidisciplinary researchers to study the transport phenomena and properties and understand the transport mechanisms of treelike structures for decades. The fluid flow and heat transfer in treelike networks have received an increasing attention over the past decade as the highly efficient transport processes observed in natural treelike structures can provide useful hints for optimal solutions to many engineering and industrial problems. This review paper attempts to present the background and research progress made in recent years on the transport phenomenon in treelike networks as well as technological applications of treelike structures. The subtopics included are optimization of branching structures, scaling laws of treelike networks, and transport properties for laminar flow, turbulent flow, heat conduction, and heat convection in treelike networks. Analytical expressions for the effective transport properties have been derived based on deterministic treelike networks, and the effect of branching parameters on the transport properties of treelike networks has also been discussed. Furthermore, numerical simulation results for treelike microchannel networks are presented as well. The proposed transport properties may be beneficial to understand the transport mechanisms of branching structures and promote the applications of treelike networks in engineering and industry.
