We report on work function changes due to Cu impurities on one monolayer Xe adsorbed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), as determined by normal emission ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Dipole moment and polarizability of a single Cu impurity are deduced from the measurements within the Topping model. The results indicate that Cu atoms adsorb as isolated impurities, a picture which is supported by density functional calculations. This finding confirms an earlier assumption in the scenario for the appearance of a Fano resonance in valence band photoemission spectra.
