title = "Initiation of collapsing pentacene crystal by Au",
abstract = "Metal contacts with gold on organics are an essential factor in organic electronics. The unveiled key challenge is to probe dynamic details of the microscopic evolution of the organic crystal when the atomic Au is introduced. Here, we show how the collapse of the pentacene crystal is initiated even by a few Au atoms. Our photoemission and x-ray absorption results indicate that the gentle decoupling of intra and inter-molecular π-π interactions causes the localization of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital as well as the removal of cohesive forces between molecules, leading to the subsequent crystal collapse.",
