In-situ gold sputtering on top of 6-Phenacene thin films

Gold (Au) sputtering on top of 6-Phenacene (Fulminene – C26 H16) thin films will be studied in-situ and in real-time. In-situ X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements will provide us an insight in roughness and crystal structure evolution during growth to characterize the nucleation of Au clusters in this system. The proposed experiment is part of a larger DFG project on real-time growth studies of molecular and organic-anorganic systems.
