Experimental Relation between Stranski−Krastanov Growth of DIP/F16CoPc Heterostructures and the Reconstruction of the Organic Interface

By a combined AFM/X-ray study, we unveil a reconstruction at the organic interface accompanying the Stranski−Kranstanov growth of di-indenoperylene (DIP) deposited on fluorinated cobalt-phthalocyanines (F16CoPc). This reconstruction involves an abrupt change in the F16CoPc packing in those areas covered by DIP. After the total completion of the first DIP monolayer, the entire F16CoPc interfacial layer is reconstructed and eventually becomes …
