Arrangement and electronic properties of cobalt phthalocyanine molecules on Si(111) (√3×√3) R30∘-B — •Milan Kubicki, Martin Franz, Susi Lindner, Holger Eisele, and Mario Dähne — Institut für Festkörperphysik, Technische Universität Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany
The formation of self-assembled monolayers of organic molecular materials on solid surfaces is an important subject because of their possible application in advanced optical and electronic devices. Here, the molecular arrangement and the interfacial electronic properties of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) on the deactivated Si(111) (√3×√3) R30∘-B surface are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy [1]. It is found that for submonolayer coverages the CoPc molecules lie flat on the Si surface with the Co dz2 orbital of the molecule forming a hybrid state with the pz orbital of the Si adatom at the surface. For multilayer coverages, in contrast, the CoPc molecules are tilted with respect to the Si surface forming highly ordered organic molecular films, and the electronic properties resemble those of pure CoPc.
