In the tilted smectic phases of terthiophenes, shear alignment macroscopically aligns the tilt direction of the director leading to a substantial in-plane anisotropy of charge carrier mobility in organic field effect transistor (OFET) experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
