Uses
Tetratetracontane may be used in a passivation layer in copper-phthalocyanine field-effect transistors for improving the charge carrier mobility. It may be used to modify the quasi two-dimensional surface electron system on Au(111), which was investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
