Abstract:
We report a combined reflectance difference spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy study of ultrathin α-sexithiophene (6T) films deposited on the Cu(110)-(2×1)O surface. The correlation between the layer resolved crystalline structure and the corresponding optical spectra data reveals a highly sensitive dependence of the excitonic optical properties on the layer thickness and crystalline structure of the 6T film.
