摘要:

利用角度分辨光电子能谱和第一性原理密度泛函理论研究了Li嵌入SiC(0001)单层石墨烯的结构和电子性质. Li在室温下在缓冲层和SiC之间的界面处以及两个碳层之间嵌入。由于来自Li原子的电荷转移,石墨烯是强$n$掺杂的,并且在$\bar{K}$ -点处可见两个$n$-带.在将样品加热到300 $^\circ$ C之后,这些$π$ -带变得尖锐并且具有与Bernal堆叠的双层石墨烯的分散明显不同的分散。我们认为,锂原子插入两个碳层之间的有序结构,类似于散装LiC $_6$。这两个层的AA堆叠在能量上变得有利。$\bar{K}$ -点周围的$π$ -带与计算的C $_6$ LiC $_6$体系的能带结构非常相似,其中插入的Li原子在石墨烯电子结构上施加超电势,从而在两个$π$ -锥的狄拉克点处打开伪能隙.

英文摘要:

We investigate the structural and electronic properties of Li-intercalated monolayer graphene on SiC(0001) using combined angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles density functional theory. Li intercalates at room temperature both at the interface between the buffer layer and SiC and between the two carbon layers. The graphene is strongly $n$-doped due to charge transfer from the Li atoms and two $π$-bands are visible at the $\bar{K}$-point. After heating the sample to 300$^\circ$C, these $π$-bands become sharp and have a distinctly different dispersion to that of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. We suggest that the Li atoms intercalate between the two carbon layers with an ordered structure, similar to that of bulk LiC$_6$. An AA-stacking of these two layers becomes energetically favourable. The $π$-bands around the $\bar{K}$-point closely resemble the calculated band structure of a C$_6$LiC$_6$ system, where the intercalated Li atoms impose a super-potential on the graphene electronic structure that opens pseudo-gaps at the Dirac points of the two $π$-cones.
