abstract = {The single crystalline nanostructure of organic semiconductors provides a very promising class of materials for applications in modern optoelectronic devices. However, morphology control and optoelectronic property modulation of high quality single crystalline samples remain a challenge. Here, we report the morphology-controlled growth of single crystalline nanorod arrays of perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA). We demonstrate that, unlike PTCDA film, PTCDA nanorods exhibits optical waveguide features, enhanced absorption, and Frenkel excitation emission in the visible region. Additionally, we measured the electrical properties of PTCDA nanorods, including the conductivity along the growth direction of the nanorod, which is roughly 0.61 S·m–1 (much higher than that of pure crystalline PTCDA films).}
