Several experimental groups have reported superconductivity in single unit cell layers of FeSe on SrTiO₃ and a few other substrates, with critical temperature $$T_c$$ reports ranging up to 100 K, and a variety of theoretical work has been done. In this work we examine more closely the interaction of a single FeSe layer with a TiO₂ terminated SrTiO₃(001) (STO) substrate. Several situations are analyzed: the underlying ideal interface, the effect of zpolarized longitudinal optic [LO($$\hat{z}$$)] phonons in STO, electron doping of the STO substrate, substitution of Se by the bordering chalcogenides S and Te, and doping by adsorption of K on the FeSe surface. These results complement earlier studies of O and Se vacancies. The O p_y, p_y surface band of STO persists at the interface, and by sharing holes with the hole pocket of FeSe it plays a part in the behavior around the interface, initially by determining the Fe Fermi level lineup with the STO band gap. The LO($$\hat{z}$$) mode causes strong band shifts around the interface but the strength of coupling to the Fe bands cannot be obtained with our methods. Adsorption of 25% K (one K per four Fe) fills the small O interface hole pocket and donates the rest of the electrons to the Fe hole pockets, filling them.
