Conjugated polymers and oligomers have received an increased attention in recent years being promising materials for organic electronics. Recently many fabrication protocols have been developed in order to enhance structural properties which in many cases have a strong influence on final device performance. We propose a non-contact way to modify structural properties during organic film solidification under external field. First a series of in situ x-ray studies using grazing incidence geometry were realized under external electric field up to 3 keV. Here a macroscopic flow is among different experimental constraints which hinders local order. Alternatively, in situ studies were performed under external magnetic field of 1.2 T. In this case a pronounced anisotropy induced by external magnetic field was found for oligomers and polythiophene-gold nanoparticle blends.
