Abstract
TPA on the gold surface shows a well-ordered layer growth up to 7.5Â nm. Since the MIES spectra show both the acid structure and the phenyl group, a flat-laying orientation is assumed. In contrast, the phenylic carbon structure could not be observed while evaporating TPA on the oxidized aluminum foil. The MIES/UPS spectra only show the COOH group. To exclude a random arrangement of the molecules we also performed low temperature measurements. It can be concluded from these measurements, in addition to the fact that the work function increases during the evaporation, that TPA has a perpendicular arrangement on the aluminum foil.
