Abstract
The authors present a combined photoemission and scanning-tunneling spectroscopy study of the filled electronic states, the molecular energy gap, and the energy level diagram of highly ordered arrays of pentacene deposited on the Cu(119) vicinal surface. The states localized at the interface are clearly singled out, comparing the results at different pentacene thicknesses and with gas-phase photoemission data. The molecular gap of 2.35 eV, the hole injection barrier of 1.05 eV, and the electron injection barrier of 1.30 eV determine the energy level diagram of the states localized at the pentacene molecules. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
