Abstract
The process of interface formation between two organic films composed of donor (copper phthalocyanine, CuPc) and acceptor (perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, PTCDA) molecules has been studied in situ using the total current spectroscopy technique. It is established that the donor-acceptor interaction between CuPc and PTCDA molecules do not distort the energy structure of the density of electron states. The main π*, σ*1, and σ*2 bands of antibonding (unoccupied) electron states are identified, which are determined both by C-C bonds in the aromatic rings and by additional C-N and C-O bonds. The width of the interface potential barrier is evaluated and its relation to the limiting polarizability of molecules is demonstrated. The interface potential barrier is formed in the course of negative charge transfer between donor (CuPc) and acceptor (PTCDA) molecules.
