- We report an investigation of the initial growth and of the self-organization of lutetium biphthalocyanine LuPc2 on Si(001)-2 x 1 vicinal surfaces. Using surface-sensitive optical spectroscopies, namely, surface-difference-reflectance spectroscopy (SDRS) and reflectance-anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), together with local-probe microscopies, we are able to propose a scenario for the growth mode up to about 20 nm. We demonstrate that the growth mode initially proceeds through the formation of a wetting layer, followed by the formation of clusters whose sizes increase while keeping a constant shape in which the molecules are inclined. Moreover, the LuPc2 molecules are self-organized along the step edges, and we are able to estimate that about 30% to 100% of the molecules are aligned when considering that the molecules are tilted by 45 degrees to 63 degrees with respect to the surface normal.
