Electronic Structure of Surfaces and Interfaces in Conjugated Polymers

This chapter is organized as follows the experimental and theoretical techniques are presented briefly in Sections 5.2 and 5.3. In Section 5.4 some materials aspects and concepts are introduced, where rrani -polyacetylene is used as an illustrative example. A series of illustrative examples on surfaces and interfaces

5 Electronic Structure of Surfaces and Interfaces in Conjugated Polymers 

Although the purpose here is not to give a full understanding of photoelectron spectroscopy, it can be useful to discuss some of the specific features in a photoelectron spectrum which can be helpful for the understanding of the different examples discussed in this chapter. The main emphasis in the background to PES will be focused on the molecular solids aspect since this chapter deals with condensed conjugated systems. The interested reader can find a more in-depth discussion on the technique, relative to organic polymeric systems, in Refs. [4, 9, 10].
