Abstract
Monolayer films of poly(m-phenylenevinylene-co-2,5-dioctoxy-p-phenylenevinylene) (PmPV) supported on highly orientated pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) have been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). While there are areas of the surface covered with a featureless polymer layer, we also observe large regions with surprisingly long range order. Structural models of the polymer, as well as tunneling spectra, suggest that this ordering is derived from substrate-polymer epitaxy.
