title: Lifshitz transition across the Ag/Cu(111) superlattice band gap tuned by interface doping.
abstract: The two-dimensional, free-electron-like band structure of noble metal surfaces can be radically transformed by appropriate nanostructuration. A case example is the triangular dislocation network that characterizes the epitaxial Ag/Cu(111) system, which exhibits a highly featured band topology with a full band gap above E(F) and a hole-pocket-like Fermi surface. Here we show that controlled doping of the Ag/Cu(111) interface with Au allows one to observe a complete Lifshitz transition at 300 K; i.e., the hole pockets fill up, the band gap entirely shifts across E(F), and the Fermi surface becomes electron-pocket-like.
