Journal ArticleDOI

The interface energetics of self-assembled monolayers on metals.

TL;DR: The establishment of a comprehensive atomistic picture regarding the impact of the individual components of a SAM on the interface energetics at metal/organic junctions paves the way for clear guidelines to design improved functional interfaces in organic and molecular electronics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward Control of the Metal−Organic Interfacial Electronic Structure in Molecular Electronics: A First-Principles Study on Self-Assembled Monolayers of π-Conjugated Molecules on Noble Metals

TL;DR: The comprehensive picture established in this work provides valuable guidelines for controlling charge-carrier injection in organic electronics and current-voltage characteristics in single-molecule devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interface energetics and level alignment at covalent metal-molecule junctions: pi-conjugated thiols on gold

TL;DR: The energetics at the interfaces between metal and monolayers of covalently bound organic molecules is studied theoretically and the highest occupied molecular levels are found to be pinned at a constant energy offset with respect to the metal Fermi level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of bidirectional charge transfer and molecular distortions on the electronic structure of a metal-organic interface.

TL;DR: The complex interplay among several interfacial phenomena that collectively determine the electronic structure of the strong electron acceptor tetrafluoro-tetracyanoquinodimethane chemisorbed on copper are resolved by combining complementary experimental techniques and first-principles calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning the Ionization Energy of Organic Semiconductor Films: The Role of Intramolecular Polar Bonds

TL;DR: The study shows that surface engineering of organic semiconductors via adjusting the polarity of intramolecular bonds represents a generally viable alternative to the surface modification of substrates to control the energetics at organic/(in)organic interfaces.
