The thermal evaporation technique is used for coating CuPc on a glass substrate or Au. We can grow nano-fibers on the substrate at higher temperature. What is the physics behind this self assembly process?
Hi, are you specifically asking about CuPc self-assembly or in general. Because there are different types of SAs depending on the materials chosen, but main physical force involved in always Van der Vaals and rest all, like chemical charge exchange or solvent guided, forces comes after it.
Yes, I'm specially asking about CuPc self-assembly. I know the force is Van der vaals force, but I'm seeking a better explanation about the force included in the self assembly process
