Abstract
Abstract A key prerequisite for fabricating opto-electronic devices with organic molecules is to control the molecular growth mode. In this work we present an ellipsometric study of the templating effect of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on the growth mode of metal free phthalocyanine (H 2 Pc). The difference in the anisotropic dielectric function between the H 2 Pc films grown on bare glass or silicon substrates compared to the anisotropic dielectric function of H 2 Pc films grown on PTCDA indicates a drastic change in molecular orientation. From the strong in-plane/out-of-plane anisotropy the average molecular tilt angle of H 2 Pc was found to be around 52° for the films grown on bare substrates and around 25° for H 2 Pc films grown on PTCDA. A splitting in the H 2 Pc Q-band was observed for the H 2 Pc films grown on PTCDA which indicates a deviation from the perfect H 2 Pc α-phase crystal.
