We will report on LEED-IV analysis of the large organic molecules PTCDA and NTCDA on the metal and insulator surfaces Ag(100), Ag(111), and KCl(100). Using data from different angles of electron incidence and optimizing the LEED-IV program code we were able to extend the experimental data set and shorten the calculation times required for the complex and large unit cells. Furthermore, the distortion of the PTCDA molecule and the buckling of the Ag surface were described by Fourier coefficients taking into account the symmetry of the system [1]. The idea of this procedure is to suppress unphysical vertical displacements of atoms on a short-wave-length scale by restriction to lower order coefficients.
By this, we obtain good Pendry R-factors, for PTCDA/Ag100 of about 0.23. We were able to derive the vertical distortions of the oxygen atoms in the functional group and the buckling of the Ag surface in rather good agreement with earlier results from DFT and NIXSW studies.
