Electronic Superstructure of Lead Phthalocyanine on Lead Islands
Lead phthalocyanine (PbPc) deposited on lead islands on Ag(111) forms two-dimensional crystals of densely packed molecules. For particular orientations, the molecular arrays exhibit an electronic superstructure with an extraordinarily large unit cell. The molecules induce a shift of quantum well states, which are confined to the Pb islands. Patterns formed by PbPc on Ag(111) are drastically different.
