摘要
We report a new patterning process which takes place as a result of demixing of a binary polymer/ solute mixture. An efficient, sustainable approach for ordering nanosized rings of so-called single molecule magnets (SMMs) is thus provided. It exploits the self-organization process in which SMM patterned film evolves to a spatially correlated pattern of nanosized rings. At long time, the anisotropic patterning of the film drives the ring to coalesce, into parallel lines of nanometric width.
