Dynamic response and electronic structure of potassium doped picene   investigated by electron energy-loss spectroscopy
  We performed electron energy-loss spectroscopy studies in order to get a deeper insight into the electronic properties of potassium intercalated picene, a recently discovered superconductor. A comparison of the loss function of the undoped and doped compound shows the appearance of a new peak in the optical gap, which we attribute to the charge carrier plasmon. We find a dramatic increase for the value of the background dielectric constant $\epsilon_{\infty}$ upon doping. Our core level excitation data clearly signal filling of the conduction bands with electrons upon potassium addition.
