title: Enhanced vertical carrier mobility in poly(3-alkylthiophene) thin films sandwiched between self-assembled monolayers and surface-segregated layers.
abstract: End-functionalized poly(3-butylthiophene) with a thiol group (P3BT-S) was synthesized and used to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). It can induce the end-on orientation in the thin film which has the potential to further enhance hole mobility up to 1.1 × 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in the vertical direction.
