Image-potential states on graphene on Ir(111) — •Daniel Niesner and Thomas Fauster — Lehrstuhl für Festkörperphysik, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstr. 7, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

Graphene, a single layer of graphitic carbon, can be produced with high quality on different metal substrates by decomposition of hydrocarbons. On the hexagonal Ir(111) surface the growth of graphene is self-limiting to a single layer with pronounced Moiré superstructure.^[1]

Image-potential states, which are unoccupied electronic surface states close to the vacuum level, were investigated by time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy. Besides the work function of the material, binding energies and lifetimes of the lowest three image-potential states were determined. The dispersion and intensity distribution of the first two states will be presented.
