Glasses prepared by physical vapor deposition (PVD) are anisotropic, and the average molecular orientation can be varied significantly by controlling the deposition conditions. While previous work has characterized the average structure of thick PVD glasses, most experiments are not sensitive to the structure near an underlying substrate or interface. Given the profound influence of the substrate on the growth of crystalline or liquid crystalline materials, an underlying substrate might be expected to substantially alter the structure of a PVD glass, and this near-interface structure is important for the function of organic electronic devices prepared by PVD, such as organic light-emitting diodes. To study molecular packing near buried organic–organic interfaces, we prepare superlattice structures (stacks of 5- or 10-nm layers) of organic semiconductors, Alq3 (Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum) and DSA-Ph (1,4-di-[4-(N,N-diphenyl)amino]styrylbenzene), using PVD. Superlattice structures significantly increase the fraction of the films near buried interfaces, thereby allowing for quantitative characterization of interfacial packing. Remarkably, both X-ray scattering and spectroscopic ellipsometry indicate that the substrate exerts a negligible influence on PVD glass structure. Thus, the surface equilibration mechanism previously advanced for thick films can successfully describe PVD glass structure even within the first monolayer of deposition on an organic substrate.

Electrical conductivity is one of the key parameters for organic thermoelectrics and depends on both the concentration and mobility of charge carriers. To increase the carrier concentration, molecular dopants have to be added into organic semiconductor materials, whereas the introduction of dopants can influence the molecular packing structures and hence carrier mobility of the organic semiconductors. Herein, we have theoretically investigated the impact of different n-doping mechanisms on molecular packing and electron transport properties by taking N-DMBI-H and Q-DCM-DPPTT respectively as representative n-dopant and molecular semiconductor. The results show that when the doping reactions and charge transfer spontaneously occur in the solution at room temperature, the oppositely charged dopant and semiconductor molecules will be tightly bound to disrupt the semiconductor to form long-range molecular packing, leading to a substantial decrease of electron mobility in the doped film. In contrast, when the doping reactions and charge transfer are activated by heating the doped film, the molecular packing of the semiconductor is slight affected and hence the electron mobility remains quite high. This work indicates that thermally-activated n-doping is an effective way to achieve both high carrier concentration and high electron mobility in n-type organic thermoelectric materials.
