Organic Semiconductor Spherulites on Front Cover of JACS
Stephanie Lee, working with Professor Yueh-Lin Loo and others, has studied large two-dimensional spherulites of the organic semiconductor TES-ADT, and found that the mobilities of transistors are surprisingly independent of the general pi-stacking direction, due to the low-angle grain boundaries that are ubiquitous in spherulites.
