Abstract
Films of regio-random and regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) were grown by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE), where the target is a frozen solution of the polymer in orthoxylene. Analysis by MALDI mass spectroscopy confirms that the deposition does not result in any degradation of the polymer. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and AFM images show that the structure of the films strongly depends on the temperature of the substrate during deposition. Best results are obtained when the substrate is held at low temperature.
