Abstract:Atomic force microscopy, transverse shear microscopy, and friction force microscopy have been used to study coverage-dependent crystalline domain structures of a tetracene film on a hydrogen-passivated Si (001)-2 × 1 surface. Though submonolayer fractals present some nonepitaxial domains, the coalesced first monolayer, which possesses a partial commensurate registration with the substrate lattice, shows two lattice domains (major domains) orthogonally oriented with each other. The second-layer lattice exhibits… Show more
