▎ 摘  要

Molecule packing behavior at organic and graphene interface is essential for graphene-based organic electronics since charge carriers are transported within the very few organic layers nearest to graphene substrate. Although organic molecules especially the ones with planar aromatic rings usually adopt recumbent geometry on graphene substrate owning to the maximized pi-pi interaction, the alignment of organic molecules may be influenced by modifying the interfacial nature between organic molecules and graphene. Here, epitaxy growth of twodimensional ultra-thin pentacene film with standing-up molecular geometry was observed for the first time on graphene with periodic nano-sized buckling structure. The curvature and strain of graphene was found collectively responsible for the standing-up geometry of pentacene and its oriented growth on graphene surface. This study provides a feasible way for controlling molecular epitaxy on 2D materials interfaces toward functional heterostructures.
