  4. HBC Contorted Hexabenzocoronene (HBC) Xiao, S. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005.

  5. Crystallizing HBC Thin Films Amorphous HBC π stacking Partially Crystallized HBC π-face HBC

  6. Thermal Evaporation Thickness Gradient: 15nm – 250nm

  7. HBC Mobility vs. Thickness

  8. Macroscopic Morphology 15nm 33nm 50nm 120nm

  9. Optical Micrographs for Kinetics Analysis HBC thin film - annealed at 240°C t = 0.5 min t = 1 min t = 1.5 min t = 2 min t = 2.5 min t = 3 min

  10. Avrami Kinetics n: variable that gives some indication regarding mode of crystallization %crystallized K: indication of the rate of crystallization

  11. Avrami n vs. Thickness
