PTCDA monolayer growth on epitaxial graphene — •Matthias Meißner, Bernd Schröter, and Torsten Fritz — Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Jena, 07743 Jena, Germany

As a model system for organic epitaxy on graphene we have investigated the epitaxy of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on epitaxial graphene (EG) with Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), Angle-Resolved Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARUPS) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). Graphene was grown by thermal decomposition of 6H-SiC(0001) in an argon atmosphere at ambient pressure [1]. For a PTCDA monolayer on EG, a new point-on-line phase has been discovered, beside that phase known already from the epitaxy of PTCDA on graphite(0001) [2]. ARUPS measurements coincide well with theoretical and experimental UPS data on thick PTCDA films [3] and show additionally a complete lack of dispersion in the PTCDA bands within experimental accuracy, confirming a weak intermolecular overlap of wave functions.
