The application of the low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) to the in-situ, real-time investigations of the nucleation and growth of organic pentacene (Pn) thin films is discussed. The relation between the substrate surface reactivity and the Pn film growth mechanisms is evidenced. We also discuss the anisotropy in the Pn film growth under kinetically limited growth conditions, which results in preferential growth of Pn in the direction of the b-axis, of the in-plane unit cell. We show how this kinetic preference can dramatically affect the crystallinity of the organic film, on the example of self-polycrystallization in epitaxial Pn films on H-Si(111) surface.
