title: Organic molecular nanotechnology.
abstract: A new route to bottom-up organic nanotechnology is presented. Molecular building blocks with specific optoelectronic properties are designed and grown via directed self-assembly arrays of morphologically controlled light-emitting organic nanofibers on template surfaces. The fibers can be easily transferred from the growth substrate to device platforms either as single entities or as ordered arrays. Due to the extraordinary flexibility in the design of their optoelectronic properties they serve as key elements in next-generation nanophotonic devices.
