Photoemission spectroscopy investigation of magnesium–Alq3 interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of interfaces between magnesium ~Mg! and the organic molecular semiconductor tris~8-hydroxy-quinoline! aluminum (Alq3) is studied via ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. The morphology and electronic structure of Mg-on-Alq3 and Alq3-on-Mg interfaces are compared. The energy of the Alq3 molecular levels is determined in both cases with respect to a reference Fermi level as a function of interface formation. The difference in injection characteristics between the two interfaces is examined in terms of differences in interface morphology and of electronic gap states induced by the diffusion of Mg at the Mg/Alq3 interface. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~98!06513-X#

The electronic structures at the interface of aluminum tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3)/Al2O3/Al have been determined by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy measurements and compared to similar measurements of the Alq3/Al interface. In the Alq3/Al2O3/Al study, shift of the highest occupied molecular orbital level of the Alq3 layer was observed when compared to that of Alq3/Al. An energy level...
متن کاملControlled manipulation of the Co-Alq3 interface by rational design of Alq3 derivatives.
Recently, research has revealed that molecules can be used to steer the local spin properties of ferromagnetic surfaces. One possibility to manipulate ferromagnetic-metal-molecule interfaces in a controlled way is to synthesize specific, non-magnetic molecules to obtain a desired interaction with the ferromagnetic substrate. Here, we have synthesized derivatives of the well-known semiconductor ...

Metal organic contacts are at the basis of devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, we report a theoretical investigation of the chemical interaction between a Mg atom and an organic film made of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) molecules. The latter is modeled either by an isolated molecule or by a bulk crystal. Using first-principles molecular dynamics for structura...
