摘要
In this work, we have investigated the spectral function of graphene on a monolayer of intercalated gold on Ru(0001) using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The intercalation leads to a decoupling of the graphene film, as documented by emergence of the characteristic linear pi-bands near the Fermi level. However, a band gap at the band crossing is observed. We relate this gap opening to the broken symmetry of the two carbon sublattices, induced by the special lattice mismatch of the graphene and the intercalated gold monolayer.
