Organics, hybrid (inorganic-organic), PLD, MBE, sputtering, evaporation - you name it! No matter how you make your films, we can measure the transport properties including Seebeck, four-probe electrical conductivity and Hall to characterize your film! Pawan and Maheswar calibrated the technique with PEDOT:PSS as well as Nickel and we are now routinely using this in our lab for measurements on organic, hybrid, semiconducting films with <1% error bars! Anas and Wu Jing are now working on the AC version of this technique - should be greatly useful for smaller size samples... Congratulations folks!
