Estimating the term…
An organic thin film includes an organic crystalline phase, where the organic crystalline phase defines a surface having a surface roughness (Ra) of less than approximately 10 micrometers over an area of at least approximately 1 cm2. The organic thin film may be manufactured from an organic precursor and a non-volatile medium material that is configured to mediate the surface roughness of the organic crystalline phase during crystal nucleation and growth. The thin film may be formed using a suitably shaped mold, for example, and the non-volatile medium material may be disposed between a layer of the organic precursor and the mold during processing.
An organic thin film comprising an organic crystalline phase, wherein the organic crystalline phase is derived from a liquid non-volatile medium material comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of silicone oil, a fluorinated polymer, a polyolefin, and polyethylene glycol, and the organic crystalline phase defines a surface having a surface roughness (Ra) of less than approximately 10 micrometers over an area of at least approximately 1 cm2.
A method comprising:
An optical element comprising an organic thin film, the organic thin film comprising an organic crystalline phase, wherein the organic crystalline phase is derived from a liquid non-volatile medium material comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of silicone oil, a fluorinated polymer, a polyolefin, and polyethylene glycol, and the organic crystalline phase defines a surface having a surface roughness (Ra) of less than approximately 10 micrometers over an area of at least approximately 1 cm2.
