Journal of Applied Physics, Aug 1, 2000

On both the TPD/ITO interface and the TPD/GeS(001) heterojunction we found shifts of the vacuum level indicating a formation of an interfacial dipole barrier. We obtained a barrier for the hole injection for TPD on Ar ion sputter-cleaned ITO of 1.5 eV which is significantly higher than the commonly cited value of 0.5 eV for ozone-oxidized ITO, whereas the interface dipole barrier of 0.3 eV is in good agreement with reported data. At low coverages of TPD on ITO additional features in the C 1s core level spectra were found, which can be ascribed to a partially oxidized TPD species at the interface.

Research paper thumbnail of Untangling the Intertwined: Metallic to Semiconducting Phase Transition of Colloidal MoS2 Nanoplatelets and Nanosheets

Colloidal nanochemistry on the other hand is an emerging alternative for the synthesis of 2D TMDC nanosheet (NS) ensembles, allowing for the control of the reaction via tunable precursor and ligand chemistry. Up to now, wet-chemical colloidal syntheses yielded intertwined/agglomerated NSs with a large lateral size. Here, we show a synthesis method for 2D mono- and bilayer MoS2 nanoplatelets with a particularly small lateral size (NPLs, 7.4 nm ± 2.2 nm) and MoS2 NSs (22 nm ± 9 nm) as a reference by adjusting the molybdenum precursor concentration in the reaction. We find that in colloidal 2D MoS2 syntheses initially a mixture of the stable semiconducting and the metastable metallic crystal phase is formed. 2D MoS2 NPLs and NSs then both undergo a ...

Research paper thumbnail of Sulfur-modified surface of InP(001): Evidence for sulfur incorporation and surface oxidation

Applied Physics A, Dec 1, 1997

Theoretical simulations of the angular distribution curves (ADCs) were carried out on the level of single scattering cluster calculations. The ADCs of the S 2p core level of sulfur on InP(001) clearly indicate partial incorporation of the sulfur onto phosphorus lattice sites of the bulk InP structure. Persistence of sulfidic S species against UV/ozone exposure also suggests subsurface sulfur on InP(001). The sulfur-passivation may significantly reduce the amount of surface oxidation but cannot suppress it completely.

Research paper thumbnail of Chemical reactions at Cu∕ZnS(001) and In∕ZnS(001) heterojunctions: A comparison of photoelectron and SL2,3 x-ray emission spectroscopy

With the formation of metal-sulfur bonds, spectral features originating from shallow metal d core levels (Zn3d, In4d) or valence states (Cu3d)) may appear in the SL2,3 emission spectra. Thus the x-ray emission spectroscopy was employed to detect chemical reactions at the heterojunctions, together with conventional photoelectron spectroscopy. Considerable reactions at the Cu∕ZnS(001) interface are more clearly indicated in the SL emission spectrum than in the Cu2p3∕2 or S2p core level spectra, whereas relatively confined reactions at the In∕ZnS(001) interface can only be probed in the In3d5∕2 core level spectra. The partial densities of states calculated for a reference CuInS2 on the basis of density functional theory agree well with features occurring in its SL2,3 emission spectrum.

Research paper thumbnail of Order on disorder: Copper phthalocyanine thin films on technical substrates

Surprisingly, the 20–50 nm thick CuPC films on the technical substrates are as highly ordered as on the single crystals. Importantly, however, the molecular orientation in the two cases is radically different: the CuPC molecules stand on the technical substrates and lie on the single crystalline substrates. The reasons for this and its consequences for our understanding of the behavior of CuPC films in devices are discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Interface properties of CoPc and CoPcF<sub>16</sub> on graphene/nickel: influence of germanium intercalation

Additional focus was put on the influence of germanium intercalation of graphene/nickel. The presented results demonstrate that germanium can decouple graphene from nickel and in this manner restore its buffer layer properties. No charge transfer from the substrate to the organic layer is observed in the germanium intercalated case, while interface related peaks in the Co 2p core level spectra indicate such charge transfer on graphene/nickel. Strong interface dipoles are found for CoPcF16 on graphene/nickel and on germanium intercalated graphene/nickel. Fluorine Auger parameters have been measured, and the results provide evidence for polarization and charge transfer screening effects of different amounts at the unlike film-substrate interfaces. The various contributions to the observed shifts are discussed.
