Electrical and morphological characterization of self assembled nanofibers by means of conducting tip AFM

The simultaneous characterization of the morphology and the electronic properties of isolated nanostructures is important to understand how the spatial restrictions and the nanoscale order affect the electrical properties of nanoscale objects and organic electronic devices.

Here we report the study of the electrical properties of self organized nanofibers of poly(3-hexylthiophene) polymers adsorbed on an insulating substrate from a mixed p-xylene / chloroform solution.

The fibers were produced by means of spin-coating on a silicon oxide surface with pre-patterned gold electrodes. The P3ht fibers have a typical extension of 20 to 50 nm width, several um length, and 1.5 nm to 5 nm height. The IV characteristics of individual fibers are probed by the conductive AFM tip along the fiber contour in order explore the decay of current through this anisotropic nanostructure.
