A new methodology to study the second-order nonlinear optical coefficients of organic materials was developed. The combination of oriented crystal growth (epitaxy or grapho-epitaxy) with grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and second harmonic ellipsometry gives an overview of the relations between the molecular hyperpolarizability and the crystalline nonlinear susceptibility tensor. Thin organic layers of 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA) were grown on nanostructured poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) substrates prepared by the friction transfer method. The investigations show that MNA crystallizes with two definite single-crystal-like orientations depending on the substrate temperature. The low- and high-temperature modes of growth correspond to a deposit of the aromatic ring more or less flat ((11−2) orientation) or edge ((010) orientation) on the substrate, respectively, the transition temperature corresponding to the first order−disorder transition of PTFE (∼19 °C). Two different orientation mechanisms were...
