Abstract
Growth of ordered perylene thin films on the Ag(110) surface has been investigated with scanning tunneling microscope. By saturating the surface with a monolayer of perylene molecules, two kinds of ordered structures are simultaneously formed with flat-lying perylene molecules on the Ag(110) surface, in which one is commensurate relative to the Ag substrate with a periodicity of while the other is commensurate with a periodicity of (-2724). There is one molecule within the former unit cell with a surface coverage of 0.1 molecule per Ag atom, while there are two molecules within the latter unit cell, which gives a slightly lower surface coverage of 0.091 molecule per Ag atom. Ab initio calculations have been carried out to identify the adsorption geometry and bonding sites.Keywords
