abstract = {The current study generates profound atomistic insights
into doping-induced changes of the optical and electronic
properties of the prototypical PTCDA/Ag(111) interface. For
doping K atoms are used, as KxPTCDA/Ag(111) has the distinct
advantage of forming well-defined stoichiometric phases. To
arrive at a conclusive, unambiguous, and fully atomistic
understanding of the interface properties, we combine
state-of-the-art density-functional theory calculations with
optical differential reflectance data, photoelectron
spectra, and X-ray standing wave measurements. In
combination with the full structural characterization of the
KxPTCDA/Ag(111) interface by low-energy electron diffraction
and scanning tunneling microscopy experiments (ACS Nano
2016, 10, 2365–2374), the present comprehensive study
provides access to a fully characterized reference system
for a well-defined metal–organic interface in the presence
of dopant atoms, which can serve as an ideal benchmark for
future research and applications. The combination of the
employed complementary techniques allows us to understand
the peculiarities of the optical spectra of K2PTCDA/Ag(111)
and their counterintuitive similarity to those of neutral
PTCDA layers. They also clearly describe the transition from
a metallic character of the (pristine) adsorbed PTCDA layer
on Ag(111) to a semiconducting state upon doping, which is
the opposite of the effect (degenerate) doping usually has
on semiconducting materials. All experimental and
theoretical efforts also unanimously reveal a reduced
electronic coupling between the adsorbate and the substrate,
which goes hand in hand with an increasing adsorption
distance of the PTCDA molecules caused by a bending of their
carboxylic oxygens away from the substrate and toward the
potassium atoms.},
