Abstrakt: BaCuChF (Ch=S,Se,Te) surfaces and BaCuSeF interfaces with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. BaCuChF compounds oxidize when exposed to ambient atmosphere. Se capping layers were studied as a means to produce representative surfaces for photoelectron spectroscopic measurements. Decapped BaCuSeF surfaces remain O-free and C-free when the Se layer is evaporated but they become F-deficient. The resulting surfaces have work functions of 4.85 eV and Fermi levels located 0.25 eV above the valence band maximum. In situ stepwise deposition of ZnPc on a BaCuSeF film surface produced a chemically inert interface with a hole-injection barrier of 0.11 eV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
