THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF PHTHALOCYANINE FILMS GROWN BY THE MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY TECHNIQUE .2. ULTRAVIOLET VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY

Ultrathin films of F-bridged Al-phthalocyanine polymer, (AlPcF) n, grown by the molecular-beam epitaxy technique show unusual spectroscopic properties which can be described by the possibility of pseudomorphic layer formation at the thin-film/substrate interface. A change in the electronic structure of the molecules of this layer is presumed to occur. The existence of the layer is directly related to the degree of epitaxy.
