In-situ real-time observation of potassium doped fulminene thin films

Growth of 6-Phenacene (Fulminene – C26 H16) and potassium doping will be studied in-situ and in real-time during organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD). In-situ X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements will show us the evolution of roughness and crystal structure during growth and enable us to characterize the fundamental processes of growth and structure. The proposed experiment is part of a larger DFG project on real-time growth studies of molecular and organicalkali systems.
