Tetracyanoquinodimethane Deposited from Solution onto the Atomically Smooth Native Oxide Surface of an Al(111) Film Characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy

Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) deposited from acetonitrile solutions onto atomically smooth native oxide surfaces of Al(111) films was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XP spectra and the bearing analysis of the AFM images show that TCNQ...

Description
Summary:Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) deposited from acetonitrile solutions onto atomically smooth native oxide surfaces of Al(111) films was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XP spectra and the bearing analysis of the AFM images show that TCNQ is adsorbed onto the oxide surface as both a uniform film of anions on a nanometer scale and micron sized particles of neutral molecules.
