Electrostatic force microscopy is utilized to track charge propagation in organic semiconductor nanoneedles. As model system, crystalline dihydrotetraazaheptacene needles epitaxially grown on ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride was investigated. Due to light exposure, the specific resistivity of the crystallites changed by two orders of magnitude. Exploiting the highly anisotropic optical properties of the organic nanoneedles, selective charge propagation along the crystallites was achieved by matching the incident light's polarization direction with the direction of the molecular backbones in the crystals. Thus, it was possible to guide charge propagation along desired paths in self-assembled crystallite networks. This way, polarized light can be used as a "light gate" to control charge propagation.
