Abstract

Abstract : In article number1703647, Pablo F. Siles and co‐workers present a complete nanoscale view of surface potential characteristics, and a quantitative overview of work function and energy‐level alignment at the interface of functional metal‐phthalocyanine organic junctions via Kelvin probe microscopy approaches. This opens interesting physical perspectives enabling straightforward correlation between morphology and nanoscale quantification of important electric parameters, revealing details like ambipolar characteristics and interface space‐charge carrier regions.
