We report studies of vacuum deposited PTCDA films on Ag(100). The SPA-LEED (Spot Profile Analysis Low Energy Electron Diffraction) measurements show two ordered structures on Ag(100). Up to one monolayer coverage, PTCDA forms a commensurate c(4 × 4) structure with two molecules, perpendicularly oriented to each other in the unit cell. The ordered structure is stable up to a sample temperature of 690 K, at which a phase transition to a disordered phase occurs. Cooling the sample back to room temperature recovers the ordered structure. At a coverage above one monolayer the second layer orders in a different structure on top of the c(4 × 4)-ordered first layer. Herein the molecules are arranged in a herring-bone pattern, and the unit cell is very similar to that of the (102) plane of the PTCDA bulk crystal. NIXSW (Normal Incidence X-Ray Standing Wave) experiments were performed on the monolayer in order to determine the vertical adsorption height and to compare it with values determined earlier for PTCDA on Ag(111) [1]. Supported by SFB 624.
