Thickness and Substrate Dependent Thin Film Growth of Picene and Impact on the Electronic Structure

Abstract: Thickness and substrate dependence of film growth, morphology, unit-cell structure, and electronic structures was thoroughly investigated for picene, the zigzag connected 5-ring molecule, by employing complementary techniques of in situ real-time X-ray reflectivity/diffraction, in situ electron spectroscopies, and atomic force microscopy. A different kind of thickness dependent structural transition was observed on SiO2 and graphite, resulting in a distinct electronic structure. On SiO2 picene films with 3D cr… Show more

“…For the PIC‐dominated mixture (Fig. a) the peaks coincide with those observed for pure PIC corresponding to two different phases H and L . The peaks of the L phase are clearly more pronounced compared to the ones of the H phase for small angles of incidence where the surface of the film contributes more to the signal than for larger angles of incidence.…”

“…The peaks of the L phase are clearly more pronounced compared to the ones of the H phase for small angles of incidence where the surface of the film contributes more to the signal than for larger angles of incidence. This is comparable to pure PIC where the H domains nucleate prior to the L domains . For the PEN‐dominated mixture only peaks of the mixed phase are observed without an apparent difference for the two angles of incidence.…”

“…The IEs for 100 Å picene coverage are 5.93 eV (on Ag[111]) and 5.97 eV (on Ag[110]). For comparison, a monolayer of flat lying picene on HOPG has an IE of 6.3 eV to 6.44 eV . In multilayers on HOPG picene adopts a herringbone arrangement and has an IE 5.94 eV and the IE of standing picene in multilayers on SiO 2 is ∼5.6 eV .…”
