In molecular devices, the importance of interfaces cannot be neglected as they determine charge injection and charge flow and, therefore, the device performance. Herein we report on the interaction of one single layer of Zn-tetraphenyl-porphyrin with Ag(110) and Si(111). Photoemission, near-edge X-ray absorption, and resonant photoemission are used to study the bonding nature, the adsorption geometry as well as the dynamics of electron transfer between the molecules and the metal or semiconductor surfaces. Molecule-substrate charge transfer is driven by the overlap with the molecular ? orbitals. In particular, the coupling of the phenyl legs with the substrate and the relative excited charge injection are dramatically different for the two surfaces considered.

Abstract
In molecular devices, the importance of interfaces cannot be neglected as they determine charge injection and charge flow and, therefore, the device performance. Herein we report on the interaction of one single layer of Zn-tetraphenyl-porphyrin with Ag(110) and Si(111). Photoemission, near-edge X-ray absorption, and resonant photoemission are used to study the bonding nature, the adsorption geometry as well as the dynamics of electron transfer between the molecules and the metal or semiconductor surfaces. Molecule-substrate charge transfer is driven by the overlap with the molecular ? orbitals. In particular, the coupling of the phenyl legs with the substrate and the relative excited charge injection are dramatically different for the two surfaces considered.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
