Over the past decade, intensive research efforts have been directed toward the field of
organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites, with dramatic progress made in both the photovoltaic …

Understanding and control of cluster and thin-film growth on solid surfaces is a subject of
intensive research to develop nanomaterials with new physical properties. In this …

Control over morphology and crystallinity of metal halide perovskite films is of key
importance to enable high-performance optoelectronics. However, this remains particularly …

Thin films formed from small molecules are rapidly gaining importance in different
technological fields. To explain their growth, methods developed for zero-dimensional atoms …

Para-hexaphenyl (6P) molecules were deposited in the submonolayer range on a sputter-
modified muscovite mica (001) surface by physical vapor deposition under ultrahigh vacuum …

The capture numbers entering the rate equations (RE) for submonolayer film growth are
determined from extensive kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations for simple representative …

It is known in thin-film deposition that the density of nucleated clusters N varies with the
deposition rate F as a power law, N∼ F α. The exponent α is a function of the critical nucleus …

We report on the impact of partial fluorination of para-sexiphenyl (6P) on the growth mode
when deposited on the non-polar ZnO (100) surface. The evolution of the thin film structure …

In this article, some fundamental topics related to the initial steps of organic film growth are
reviewed. General conclusions will be drawn based on experimental results obtained for the …

A semiconductor quantum dot (QD) can generate highly indistinguishable single photons at
a high rate. For application in quantum communication and integration in hybrid systems …
