Abstract

We report the observation of a screw-dislocation-driven spiral growth of DMDPC organic thin films using physical vapor deposition. The existence of screw dislocations was clearly confirmed by the observations of outcropped steps, single monolayer height helical periodicity and spiral fringes.
