In the last few decades, organic semiconducting materials have attracted a large amount of interest due to their unmatched properties and widespread applications in diverse fields. However, the performance of organic semiconductor-based electronic circuitry components largely depends on the structure and interface as they determine the injection efficiency by establishing barriers for carrier injection in the organic active layer. By keeping in view, the importance of these materials we have been particularly studying the metal phthalocyanines, tetracene, pentacene, perylene, etc. Our primary objective has been to investigate the structural and interfacial electronic properties of organic semiconductor thin films deposited on various single-crystal substrates. Moreover, we have also been exploring the possible strong chemical interaction or weak interaction at the interface, which greatly affects the electronic structure of the organic molecules and the interfacial properties of the materials in contact.
