In this paper; we report the structural and electronic properties of pentacene thin films grown on a polycrystalline Co film using atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS); respectively. Investigation of this type of interface is of importance for the engineering of hybrid organometallic spintronic devices for which the use of spin polarized electrodes is a prerequisite. Uniform single crystalline areas of pentacene as large as several micrometers; with molecules arranging almost perpendicular to the substrate; were obtained. For the electronic properties at this interface; we have found an energy barrier for the hole injection of about 1 eV; in spite of the fact that the ionization potential of pentacene reported previously equals the work function of Co. A shift of the vacuum level of the same magnitude has also been observed. A comparison of the UPS spectra of the pentacene films with the gas phase spectrum directly indicates that hybridization effects are present at this interface. © 2006 American Institute of Physics;
