摘要: Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene $({\mathrm{C}}_{42}{\mathrm{H}}_{18},$ HBC) films adsorbed on the Au(111) surface were investigated by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and scanning tunneling (STS). The results show that both methods give comparable for electronic structure occupied states, if STS is performed at appropriate parameters. Additionally, gives an immediate insight into unoccupied states. highest state multilayer found 1.3\char21{}1.4 eV below Fermi levels lowest 1.8 above level. resulting transport gap compared to optical absorption measurements. Work-function changes -0.8 indicate interface dipole, i.e., vacuum level alignment does not occur HBC-Au interface. Compared UPS, voltage range measurements limited prevent sample damage.
