Zusammenfassung, Abstract
We demonstrate a general feature of organic films between a substrate and a deformable cladding layer: the capability of forming periodic structures by heating above the glass transition temperature of the organic film. This patterning process by self-organization is caused by the interplay of dispersion interactions and mechanical stress which leads to spinodal deformation. The dynamic evolution of the structures was investigated by time-resolved light diffraction. By prepatterning the substrate, the direction of the waves can be controlled.
