1. At a metal/organic contact, the electron injection barrier is defined as the difference between the Fermi level of the cathode material and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the organic. Similarly, the hole injection barrier is the difference between the Fermi level of the anode material and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the organic.

31. Mg concentration in the PyPySPyPy films was determined for the Mg(1s) and C(1s) core line intensities by accounting for the different cross sections of the two core levels but not for the transmission function of the hemispherical analyzer or for the mean free path of electrons. A uniform Mg (doping) concentration was assumed throughout the film.

36. The observed energy level shifts cannot be interpreted solely in terms of band bending because of the changes of the organic orbital structure, induced by the interaction between Mg and PyPySPyPy. Distinguishing between the latter and the electrostatic band bending effects appears to be particularly difficult without accurate information on, e.g., the space charge distribution within the near-surface region of the Mg/PyPySPyPy structure.
