In this work, we show how the geometric and electronic properties of metal surfaces can be altered by the molecule-substrate interaction. As a model system, we chose a Ag(111) surface and embed Pb tracer atoms into the topmost Ag(111)-layer by surface alloying.
We have studied the electronic valence structure of interfaces formed by prototypical organic molecules adsorbed on the Pb/Ag(111) surface alloy by momentum microscopy. While the adsorption of PTCDA significantly alters the alloy band structure, no changes are observed for CuPc. The changes in the valence band of the PTCDA/Pb/Ag(111) interface can be explained by vertical relaxation of the Pb tracer atoms as determined by x-ray standing waves method. Such relaxation occurs only at the interface formed with PTCDA, not with CuPc. We thus propose that the modifications of the Pb/Ag(111) surface alloy can be attributed to the formation of local bonds between PTCDA and the surface alloy which are absent in case of CuPc.
