Photo-induced carrier processes at the heteromolecular interface of N,N'-dioctyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C(8)) and quaterrylene (QT) on a molecular scale were examined by optical and photoelectron spectroscopy. The energy level alignments of the molecules were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the optical
