摘要：

Using a combination of photoelectron spectroscopies and ellipsometry to study the thin-film growth of Alq(3) (tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum) on Ag, we have been able to distinguish between molecular orbital energy shifts due to "band bending" and interface dipole formation. We have observed large binding energy shifts (approximate to 0.5 eV) of the organic molecular levels at low coverages. We conclude that these shifts are consistent with the formation of a polarized molecular layer, or interface dipole, and are inconsistent with an electrostatic band-bending model.
