14. The absolute amounts are unknown. Roughly, a deposition rate of 0.005 ML per minute was estimated by indirect comparison with a separate measurements of work function change upon Na deposition (the Na coverage for the maximum change or the beginning of the saturation was assumed to be 1 ML).

18. A recent publication has proposed that the MIT in the clean surface is of the disorder-order type and unrelated to the Fermi surface nesting [C. Gonzalez, J. Guo, J. Ortega, F. Flores, and H. H. Weitering, Phys. Rev. Lett. 0031-9007 102, 115501 (2009)]. It is not clear whether our results can also be explained within this new picture. For the coherency of this paper, we adopt the CDW mechanism to explain the doping effect. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.115501
