The vast requirement for novel nano-sized information technology devices has triggered the search for functional low dimensional materials with distinct spin order. A particularly interesting case is the contact of molecular complexes and surface alloys, which combines the unique functionality of molecular complexes with the spin order of surface alloys. Here, we focus on Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on the DyAg2 surface alloy. Alloying the topmost layer of an Ag(111) surface with Dy results in a long range ordered magnetic phase at low sample temperature. Using synchrotron-based photoemission and magnetic circular dichroism experiments we can reveal the manipulation of the electronic and magnetic properties of this surface alloy by adsorption of PTCDA. These changes of the DyAg2 surface alloy are attributed to the formation of σ-like local bonds between the molecules oxygen end groups and the Dy-alloy atoms.
