Quantum size oscillations of oligoacene gaps adsorbed on Au(111) — •Richard Korytár — Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

For gas phase oligoacenes, our recent theoretical work suggests a possibility for oscillations of the excitation gaps with the length of the molecule. In view of the recent experimental progress of on-surface synthesis, we employ the density functional theory to investigate here the fate of these oscillations for oligoacenes adsorbed on a Au(111) surface. Since the long range-nature of the Coulomb interaction is removed on metallic substrates due to screening, correlation effects are weaker and the tendency towards oscillatory behavior is enhanced.
