AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We present the results of photoemission electron microscopy investigations on diindenoperylene (DIP) thin films deposited on polycrystalline gold, prepared in order to have a roughness much larger than the molecular size. Our investigations revealed the ability of the DIP molecule to form well-organized films, exhibiting a different molecular orientation with respect to the already known λ and σ phases. In locally thicker film regions, the energy of the films is minimized by a molecular arrangement that has an asymptotic tendency to the σ phase.

Photo-induced relaxation processes leading to excimer formations or other traps are in the focus of many investigations of optoelectronic materials because they severely affect the efficiencies of corresponding devices. Such relaxation effects comprise inter-monomer distortions in which the orientations of the monomer change with respect to each other, whereas intra-monomer distortions are variations in the geometry of single monomers. Such distortions are generally neglected in quantum chemical investigations of organic dye aggregates due to the accompanied high computational costs.

We present a comprehensive investigation of the charge-transfer (CT) effect in weakly interacting organic semiconductor mixtures. The donor-acceptor pair diindenoperylene (DIP) and N,N'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-1,7-dicyanoperylene-3,4/9,10-bis(dicarboxyimide) (PDIR-CN) has been chosen as a model system. A wide range of experimental methods was used in order to characterize the structural, optical, electronic, and device properties of the intermolecular interactions.

We investigated the growth of the two phase-separating materials diindenoperylene (DIP) and buckminsterfullerene C with different mixing ratio in real-time and in situ by X-ray scattering experiments. We found that at room temperature, mixtures with an excess of DIP show a growth mode which is very close to the perfect layer-by-layer limit with DIP crystallites forming over the entire film thickness. An unexpected increase in the island size is observed for these mixtures as a function of film thickness.

We have investigated diindenoperylene (DIP) thin films deposited on Au(110) single crystals, by using a multi-technique approach based on X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). DIP molecules are physisorbed on gold, with image-charge screening playing the major role as an interface phenomenon. DIP thin films show Stranski-Krastanov growth mode and the structural herringbone arrangement mimics the arrangement found in DIP single crystals.

The epitaxial growth of the 1st and 2nd monolayer (ML) diindenoperylene (DIP) on Ag(111) has been systematically investigated using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and first-principles calculations. At one ML regime, DIP molecules commensurately arrange in either herringbone or brick-wall superstructures, depending on the deposition rate. Tip-induced structural transformation from herringbone to brick-wall is observed.
