Photoemission study of the ITO/triphenylene/perylene/Al interfaces

2001 
Abstract The interface formation in a ITO-coated glass/triphenylene hexaether/perylene tetraester/aluminum heterostructure was studied by ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). The interfaces were built step by step by successive evaporation of thin (few nm) material layers. Each step was followed by UPS characterization which allowed determination of the evolutions of the valence bands (VBs) and that of the vacuum level. An electronic energy diagram has been deduced giving the metal/organic barriers and the band offset between the two organic semiconductors. Major differences were observed between the two metal/organic interfaces which can have consequences for light emitting diodes based on these materials.
