Abstract

Organic semiconductor thin films were fabricated by thermal deposition of free-base and metal phthalocyanines under a static magnetic field. A vertical magnetic field enhanced the crystallinity of the edge-on orientation of the phthalocyanine discs, whereas a horizontal magnetic field had a minimal effect on the crystallinity. The major factor for the orientation change is attributed to the diamagnetic anisotropies of π-electrons in the phthalocyanine macrocycles. Field-effect transistors of phthalocyanine films fabricated under a vertical magnetic field exhibited better hole mobilities and on-current values with smaller threshold voltages than those of phthalocyanine films fabricated without a magnetic field. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
