摘要:

在密度泛函理论(DFT)框架下研究了Ag(111)表面并五苯(C $_{22}$ H $_{14}$)多层膜的结构和电子性质.采用第一性原理方法,利用投影缀加波(PAW)方法研究了并五苯(Pn)在Ag(111)表面的初始生长模式.在其本体相中,并五苯以三斜对称性结晶,而具有正交晶胞的薄膜相在能量上较不利,为0.12 eV/晶胞。并五苯在Ag(111)表面上更倾向于保持平面,并且在3.9 μ m的高度处沿着银行完美地排列而没有任何分子变形。在一个单层(ML)覆盖的分子层和表面平面之间的分离延伸到4.1埃,由于分子间的相互作用削弱表面-并五苯的吸引力。当第一ML保持平坦时,沉积在表面上的第二全并五苯层上的分子重新排列,使得它们相对于彼此偏斜。这种吸附模式在能量上比分子通过与体相和薄膜相获得的能量差类似的能量差形成平的并五苯层的吸附模式更优选。此外,随着新层的添加,并五苯组装以保持这种倾斜3和4 ML,类似于其体相,而接触层始终保持平面。因此,我们的计算表明批量样的初始阶段的增长模式。

英文摘要:

The structural profiles and electronic properties of pentacene (C$_{22}$H$_{14}$) multilayers on Ag(111) surface has been studied within the density functional theory (DFT) framework. We have performed first-principle total energy calculations based on the projector augmented wave (PAW) method to investigate the initial growth patterns of pentacene (Pn) on Ag(111) surface. In its bulk phase, pentacene crystallizes with a triclinic symmetry while a thin film phase having an orthorhombic unit cell is energetically less favorable by 0.12 eV/cell. Pentacene prefers to stay planar on Ag(111) surface and aligns perfectly along silver rows without any molecular deformation at a height of 3.9 Å. At one monolayer (ML) coverage the separation between the molecular layer and the surface plane extends to 4.1 Å due to intermolecular interactions weakening surface--pentacene attraction. While the first ML remains flat, the molecules on a second full pentacene layer deposited on the surface rearrange so that they become skewed with respect to each other. This adsorption mode is energetically more preferable than the one for which the molecules form a flat pentacene layer by an energy difference similar to that obtained for bulk and thin film phases. Moreover, as new layers added, pentacenes assemble to maintain this tilting for 3 and 4 ML similar to its bulk phase while the contact layer always remains planar. Therefore, our calculations indicate bulk-like initial stages for the growth pattern.
