We have recently created a giant Rashba splitting (100 meV) [1] of the Dirac fermions at the Fermi energy of graphene by intercalation of Au and attributed it to the high spin-orbit interaction in Au. Ab initio calculations and spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectra of the interaction of graphene π with Au d states show a delicate dependence on the details of the hybridization which are not present in other systems. A giant Rashba splitting (200 meV) reported recently for graphene grown on SiC [2] is not confirmed by our measurements giving an upper limit of ∼10 meV. Moreover, we compare to the intercalation system graphene/Au/SiC.
