Electronic Structures of a Well-Defined Organic Hetero-Interface: C₆₀ on Pentacene Single Crystal

抄録

Electronic structures of donor-acceptor hetero-interfaces are crucial for performance of organic solar cell devices. In the present study, a well-defined organic molecular interface of pentacene single crystal and C₆₀ overlayer is elucidated by x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) and photoelectron yield spectroscopy (PYS). An energy level diagram at this hetero-molecular contact in the “head-on” orientation is derived, which reveals the vacuum level alignment and flat-band conditions. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2015.59]
