Abstract

Inverse-photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) in the near-ultraviolet range is a new tool for investigating the LUMO levels of organic materials. Previous IPES methods have had two serious weaknesses, i.e. low energy resolution and sample damage to organic materials. In the present method, on the other hand, the irradiation damage to the organic sample is significantly reduced by decreasing the kinetic energy of electrons below the damage threshold. The energy resolution of the instrument is improved by a factor of two to 0.3 eV by using multilayer band pass filters. Acceptor materials widely used in organic photovoltaic cells, C60 and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM), are measured with this new technique to determine the electron affinities.
