Schematization of the electronic structure of perylene and graphene and the arrangements of the components in the hybrid structure. The spatial separation between the graphene crystal and the perylene molecules is also indicated (d). Note that perylene and graphene are coupled via near-field electromagnetic interaction and the electronic wave functions are separated by the insulating PMMA layer.
