Here, we investigate the interfacial chemical and switching properties of the phosphonic-acid diarylethene (PA-DAE) switch in form of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on ZnO(0001) and ZnO(000-1) surfaces by photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The observed work function increase is attributed to the introduction of a surface dipole; the binding modes of the phosphonic-acid linker were retrieved from the deconvolution of O 1s core level spectra, indicating the formation of mixed bidentate and tridentate binding. The quantification of core level spectra supports the picture of a densely packed SAM on both ZnO surfaces. Upon illumination with ultraviolet and visible light, respectively, we observe a 0.7 eV energy level shift at the onset of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the PA-DAE molecules. This can further on be used to reversibly switch the energy level alignment at the ZnO/PA-DAE interface in device structures.
