This comprehensive monograph includes the essential aspects of organic thin films:


? structure


? optical and vibrational properties


? excitations


? electronic structure


? transport.


After presenting growth techniques for organic molecular thin films, the authors describe in detail the investigation of surfaces and interfaces using optical spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy, and electrical measurements. They not only present and explain theoretical models, but also provide a complete comparison of experiment and theory. The result is a thorough explanation of the experimental techniques and the corresponding data evaluation, which will serve to introduce postgraduate students to the field, while also including important information for specialists in physics, materials science, and the organic electronics industry.
