Abstract
We report a first-principles study about the structural and electronic properties of twohybrid organic-molecule/inorganic-surface interfaces. We consider the adsorptionof cysteine amino acids on Au(111) and of styrene molecules on the dimerizedSi(100)-(2 × 1) surface, as prototypical systems for the functionalization of both metallic andsemiconducting substrates. We focus on the adsorption mechanisms at the submonolayerregime, that we describe in terms of molecule/surface and molecule/molecule interactions.In both cases, our results show a strong electronic mixing and the formation of hybridbonding states at the interface.
