abstract = {The future success of organic semiconductors in electronic
or spintronic devices depends crucially on the ability to
control the properties of molecular thin films. Metal
contacts as well as interfaces formed by different organic
materials are of equal importance in this context. A model
system contributing to the improvement of the fundamental
understanding of such interfaces is the heteromolecular
bilayer film formed by
3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) grown
on a well ordered CuPc monolayer on Ag(111). Using
complementary experimental techniques, we are able to reveal
a molecular exchange across this heteromolecular interface.
At the initial stage of the PTCDA deposition, some of these
molecules diffuse into the CuPc layer and displace CuPc
molecules to the second layer. This inhibits the formation
of a smooth interface between both species and results in a
structurally disordered heteromolecular CuPc-PTCDA film in
the first and randomly arranged CuPc molecules as well as
ordered PTCDA islands in the second layer. While the second
organic layer is electronically decoupled from the
underlying layer, the first layer, although disordered,
shows a charge reorganization and an adsorption height
alignment of CuPc and PTCDA as it is known for highly
ordered heteromolecular monolayer structures on Ag(111). The
molecular exchange, which we consistently find in all our
experimental data, is the result of a lower adsorption
energy gain of PTCDA on Ag(111) compared to CuPc on
Ag(111).},
