The screening of external charges by a two-dimensional electron gas is studied by spectroscopy of loosely bound electrons on graphene grown on various substrates. The charge transfer from the substrate to the graphene layer (doping) is correlated with the work function and the energy of the Dirac point in good agreement with theoretical predictions [1]. The spectroscopy of the unoccupied states by two-photon photoemission reveals that the long-range image potential applies only for energies close to the vacuum level. The lowest state is found at 3.7 eV above the Dirac point independent of the substrate. This indicates that for this state the screening is dominated by the electronic structure of the graphene layer.
