摘要：
The energy-level alignment and charge injection at metal/C-60/organic interfaces have been studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature dependent current-voltage (IV) measurements. It is found that the Fermi level at the interface is pinned to similar to 4.7 eV by adsorbed C-60 molecules on the metal surface, resulting in more favorable energy level alignment for charge injection. The findings are in excellent agreement with interface dipole theory derived from traditional semiconductor physics.
