When molecules leave tire tracks: A new approach to optimizing molecular self-organization

Certain types of molecules form patterns when deposited onto substrates. Photovoltaic and sensor devices from organic compounds depend on this phenomenon of self-organization. Physicists of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich, Germany, have now developed a model that predicts these patterns and thus allows optimization of the molecular synthesis in the future.
