organic semiconductors &#8211; including P3HT and PEDOT:PSS in particular &#8211; enable precise characterization of special electronic and thermal transport mechanisms. A direct correlation can be established between targeted manipulation of the film structure, for example through exposure to light during coating, and the resulting electrical power. The close relationship between electrical power and the morphology of the film &#8211; for example an edge-on or face-on orientation &#8211; is also immediately comprehensible. These deep insights into the relationships between structure and properties open up new possibilities for the targeted development of more efficient materials and components. It is particularly advantageous that only small sample quantities are required for the analysis &#8211; just a few micrograms of material are sufficient (6).    <\/p><p>2D materials such as MoS\u2082 and graphene also offer a wide range of potential applications. The focus here is on the control and evaluation of deposition conditions, crystallinity and electrical contacts. The targeted analysis of transport channels, interfacial effects and the influences of various growth processes can provide crucial insights. In addition, the characterization of unique transport phenomena with regard to charge carrier density and mobility in layered composites enables a deeper understanding of these materials. The combination of in-plane and out-of-plane characterization opens up innovative approaches for the development of new component concepts. Precise knowledge of the interface and transport specifics is particularly important for vertical and hybrid component architectures (7, 8).     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d193db5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d193db5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Differences to other thin film analysis methods<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-983ef6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"983ef6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Multifunctional integration vs. individual measurements<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5178ecb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5178ecb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The TFA combines several established measuring principles on one measuring chip: thermal conductivity (3-omega method), electrical transport properties (Van der Pauw method), Seebeck coefficient and optionally charge carrier mobility, density and Hall coefficient.
