RESUMO
Growth of ordered perylene thin films on the Ag(110) surface has been investigated with scanning tunneling microscope. By saturating the surface with a monolayer of perylene molecules, two kinds of ordered structures are simultaneously formed with flat-lying perylene molecules on the Ag(110) surface, in which one is commensurate relative to the Ag substrate with a periodicity of while the other is commensurate with a periodicity of (-2724). There is one molecule within the former unit cell with a surface coverage of 0.1 molecule per Ag atom, while there are two molecules within the latter unit cell, which gives a slightly lower surface coverage of 0.091 molecule per Ag atom. Ab initio calculations have been carried out to identify the adsorption geometry and bonding sites.
RESUMO
The structure of perylene adsorbed on Ru(0001) surface has been studied by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and low-energy electron diffraction. An ordered p(4x4) structure is observed from a monolayer (about 4 A thickness) of the perylene on Ru(0001) surface. UPS measurements show the molecular features, from the perylene multiplayer, between 2 and 10 eV below the Fermi level. Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy measurements suggest that the perylene molecular plane is parallel to the substrate. Temperature dependent UPS measurements show that the perylene multilayer is stable on Ru(0001) surface up to 125 degrees C. The desorption of the multilayer and the decomposition of the monolayer are observed above 125 degrees C.
