Graphene with a Dirac cone-like electronic structure has been extensively studied because of its novel transport properties and potential application for future electronic devices. For epitaxially grown graphene, the process conditions and the microstructures are strongly dependent on various substrate materials with different lattice constants and interface energies. Utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, here we report an investigation of the electronic structure of single-crystalline graphene grown on Cu/Ni (111) alloy film by chemical vapor deposition. With a relatively low growth temperature, graphene on Cu/Ni (111) exhibits a Dirac cone-like dispersion comparable to that of graphene grown on Cu (111). The linear dispersions forming Dirac cone are as wide as 2 eV, with the Fermi velocity of approximately 1.1×106 m/s. Dirac cone opens a gap of approximately 152 meV at the binding energy of approximately 304 meV. Our findings would promote the study of engineering of graphene on different substrate materials.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
