Abstract
Crystal growth of Alq3 was achieved in an ionic liquid by vacuum vapor deposition. Alq3 crystals of several tens of microns in size showed beautiful hexagonal morphologies, different from previous reports. The successful crystal growth can be explained by the enhanced migration of Alq3 molecules and moderate supersaturation within the ionic liquid. The Alq3 crystal showed unique optical properties, such as a waveguide and blue-shift of the photoluminescence spectrum.
