Here we report on organic heterostructures of highly-ordered ultra-thin layers of the dye molecules 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) and copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) grown on Ag(111) and characterized by LEED and LT-STM as well as optically by in-situ differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) [1].
The heterostructure consisting of CuPc on top of one monolayer PTCDA on Ag(111) is stable, and the DRS spectra show a clear monomeric behavior of CuPc as likewise observed on an inert mica substrate. In contrast, by LT-STM and DRS measurements we found that one monolayer of CuPc on Ag(111) is thermodynamically not stable when PTCDA is deposited on top. Besides of decoupling aromatic molecules from a metal by an organic interlayer the passivation is also possible by depositing thin films of alkali metal halides on top of the metallic surface [2]. Preliminary results for PTCDA on KCl/Ag(111) and CuPc on KCl/Ag(100) will also be discussed.
