We have applied photoemission microspectroscopy to copper phthalocyanine film grown on a polycrystalline copper with a lateral resolution of 0.3μm and an energy resolution of 30meV. The photoemission band due to the highest occupied molecular orbital peaked at the binding energy of either 1.6 or 1.2eV depending on the sample positions, while the work functions were 4.3 and 4.5eV for the respective positions. The band was intense when the binding energy was low. The results demonstrate that a large inhomogeneity exists in the interface electronic structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
