A multitechnique investigation of substituted pentacene nanorods — •Sabine-Antonia Savu¹, Simon Schundelmaier¹, Sabine Abb¹, Christina Tönshoff², Holger F.

We report our investigation on nanorods of two newly synthesized substituted pentacenes by using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The nanorods were deposited on Au(111). We have analyzed the photoemission spectra in detail by using a fitting procedure. XPS thickness dependent spectra show a different screening of the core-hole at the interface, while NEXAFS investigations suggest a molecular arrangement similar to what reported for pentacene thin films. In addition, the morphology of the nanorods has been investigated by using AFM, evaluating the nanorod characteristics also from a statistical point of view.
