Abstract
We elucidate the mechanism of the self-assembled organic layer formation at the organic/metal interface of hexaaza-triphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HATCN)/Au(111) by first-principles calculations and Lowtemperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In this work, we used HATCN to deposit organic material which is well known as an efficient OLED charge generation material. Low-temperature STM measurements revealed that self-assembled hexagonal porous structure is formed at terraces of Au(111). We also found that the hexagonal porous structure has chirality and forms only small (<1000
