We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of desorption of potassium atoms from the basal plane of graphite induced by photons with energies from 2 to 6 eV. The intensity of the photon flux employed in the measurements is low, and the observed photodesorption is a single-photon, non-thermal event. At monolayer coverage the photon-energy dependence of the cross section has a maximum at 4.8 eV. The experimental observations are interpreted in terms of a hot carrier mechanism, which involves attachment of optically excited substrate hot electrons to the empty 4s state of ionized potassium, and then desorption. The theory predicts a Gaussian line shape of the photoyield versus photon energy. Fitting the model parameters to the experimental data, we determine: (i) the potential energy for Gr + K+ and Gr + K-0; and (ii) the position (2.4 eV above the Fermi level) and width (0.15 eV) of the potassium 4s resonance, which is in good agreement with independent experimental observations.
