Epitaxial graphene on Ir(111) exhibits effects of the 2.5 nm moiré superperiodicity which is due to the mismatch of graphene and iridium lattices. Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) reveals intact Dirac cone, slight p-doping (0.1 eV) and opening of minigaps in the band structure of graphene due to the superperiodic potential of the order of 100 mV [1].
In this work, electronic doping of graphene by alkalis (Na, Cs, K) at varying concentrations shifted the position of the Dirac point up to 1.4 eV below the Fermi energy. Moreover, upon the intercalation of alkalis the effects of the superperiodicity vanished and the minigaps disappeared. In the (maximum doping) regime where graphene Fermi surface becomes pronouncedly trigonal, an anisotropic effect of the pi-band dispersion renormalization was clearly observed. We interpret this as a signature of an enhanced electron-phonon coupling in doped graphene.
