摘要
Surface Raman spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum is used to interrogate interfaces formed between tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) and vapor-deposited Mg. The Raman spectral results for deposition of Mg mass thicknesses between 5 and 20 angstrom indicate formation of a complex interfacial region composed primarily of Mg-Alq(3) adducts and small-grained amorphous or nanocrystalline graphite, the presence of which may have a significant effect on the electronic properties of this metal-organic interface. The observed shifts in nu(ring), nu(C-N), nu(Al-N), and nu(Al-O) modes along with the appearance of nu(Mg-C) and nu(Mg-O) modes suggest a structure for the Mg-Alq(3) adduct in which Mg is bound to the O and C atoms of Alq(3). In addition, several intense, broad modes are observed that are consistent with partial graphitization of the Alq(3) film.
