XPS investigation of charge transfer complexes with strong donor / acceptor molecules: composites and interfaces — •Sebastian Stolz, Eric Mankel, Julia Maibach, Thomas Mayer, and Wolfram Jaegermann — Technische Universität Darmstadt, Materials Science Institute, Surface Science Division, Petersenstraße 32, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany

Organic charge transfer complexes like TTF-TCNQ have raised interest due to their electronic and optical properties being highly sensitive to small variations of the molecular constituents. In this manner, the electrical properties of TTF-TCNQ and its derivates vary significantly, and hence different applications for organic electronic devices are imaginable. Thin film layers of DBTTF-TCNQ were prepared in UHV and inert atmospheres respectively to avoid contamination. Preparation methods used were (1) evaporation of solution grown crystals, (2) drop casting under Ar atmosphere, and (3) co-evaporation of the individual molecules with varying donor / acceptor ratios. Additionally, DBTTF was deposited stepwise onto a clean TCNQ substrate in order to investigate the reaction mechanism. The resulting thin films were analyzed by in-situ photoemission spectroscopy, partially carried out at the U49/2 beamline at Bessy II. The stoichiometric ratio of donor and acceptor molecules was determined and the formation of the CT-complex was confirmed for all samples. In case of a stoichiometric ratio unequal to 1:1, the spectra show a mixture of the CT-complex and neutral excess molecules. Finally, the experimentally determined spectra were compared to DFT-calculations.
