title: Transferring self-assembled, nanoscale cables into electrical devices.
abstract: This study details a new derivative of the contorted HBCs that self-organizes into one-dimensional, single-crystalline fibers. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction studies show that they have an orthorhombic unit cell with dimensions of 5.8 nm x 4.5 nm x 0.45 nm. Each fiber is composed of a few thousands columns. A method is put forth that utilizes elastomer stamps to manipulate and position isolated fibers in organic field effect transistors.
