Abstract

The interfacial electronic structure of a bilayer of fullerene (C₆₀) and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) grown on aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) substrates has been evaluated by X-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. The energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the ZnPc layer and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the C₆₀ layer (E^D_HOMO − E^A_LUMO) was determined and compared to that grown on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The E^D_HOMO − E^A_LUMO value of the heterojunction on AZO was 1.4 eV, while that on ITO was 1.1 eV. This result is discussed in terms of the differences of the work function and resistivity of each transparent conductive oxide. We also obtained complete energy level diagrams of C₆₀/ZnPc/AZO and C₆₀/ZnPc/ITO.
