Graphite is a semimetal, a prototype of layered crystals and the parent compound for carbon nanotubes. Despite of its great importance, detailed studies of many body effects by angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) are rare, mostly caused by the lack of high-quality samples. Here we present an ARPES study on high-quality graphite films grown on a SiC substrate. The temperature dependence of the self energy was determined by a systematic linewidth analysis for the Fermi surface states close to the K point of the surface Brillouin zone. The Fermi surface crossing is sharp in momentum space (of the order of 0.07 Å−1) and its full width at half maximum is almost constant for temperatures between 70 and 600 K. The experimental results for the self-energy are compared to first principles calculations for one layer of graphene.
