TI  - Nanostructure dependence of field-effect mobility in regioregular 
      poly(3-hexylthiophene) thin film field effect transistors.
PG  - 3480-1
AB  - Low polydispersity regioregular polythiophenes with number average molecular 
      weights ranging from 2 to 13 kDa were cast under the same conditions from 
      solution to form a series of field effect transistors (FETs). Tapping mode AFM 
      and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering revealed that in all cases the 
      polymers formed regular nanofibrillar morphologies with the width of nanofibrils 
      proportional to the weight average contour length of polymer chains, indicating 
      that conjugated backbones were oriented perpendicular to the nanofibril axes. FET 
      charge carrier mobilities exhibited exponential dependence on nanofibril width, 
      pointing to the decisive role of extended conjugated pathways in charge 
      transport.
