The 2D Fermi surface of 1st stage PdAl2Cl8 acceptor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) has been investigated using the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) effect. One fundamental frequency is observed, the angular variation of which confirms its strongly 2D nature, as previously found through electrical conductivity measurements. The energy spectrum can be described by the 2D band structure model proposed by Blinowski et al. We obtain the following parameter values: intraplane C-C interaction energy gamma_0 = 2.7 eV, Fermi energy E_F = -1.1 eV and carrier density n_SdH= 1.1x10^27 m^-3. Some fewer details are presented on stage 2 and 3 materials.

Exposure of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite to bromine vapor gives rise to in-plane charge conductivities which increase monotonically with intercalation time toward values (for ~6 at% Br) that are significantly higher than Cu at temperatures down
to 5 K. Magnetotransport, optical reflectivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm that the Br dopes the graphene sheets with holes while simultaneously increasing the interplanar separation. The increase of mobility (~ 5E4 cm^2/Vs at T=300 K) and resistance anisotropy together with the reduced diamagnetic susceptibility of the intercalated samples suggests that the observed supermetallic conductivity derives from a parallel combination of weakly-coupled hole-doped graphene sheets.
We investigate the optical properties of bromine intercalated highly orientated pyrolytic graphite (Br-HOPG) and provide a novel interpretation of the data. We observe new absorption features below 620 meV which are absent in the absorption spectrum
of graphite. Comparing our results with those of theoretical studies on graphite, single and bilayer graphene as well as recent optical studies of multilayer graphene, we conclude that Br-HOPG contains the signatures of ultrapure bilayer, single layer graphene, and graphite. The observed supermetallic conductivity of Br-HOPG is identified with the presence of very high mobility (~ 121,000 cm2V-1s-1 at room temperature and at very high carrier density) multilayer graphene components in our sample. This could provide a new avenue for single and multilayer graphene research.
Tunneling atomic force microscopy (TUNA) was used at ambient conditions to measure the current-voltage ($I$-$V$) characteristics at clean surfaces of highly oriented graphite samples with Bernal and rhombohedral stacking orders. The characteristic cu
rves measured on Bernal-stacked graphite surfaces can be understood with an ordinary self-consistent semiconductor modeling and quantum mechanical tunneling current derivations. We show that the absence of a voltage region without measurable current in the $I$-$V$ spectra is not a proof of the lack of an energy band gap. It can be induced by a surface band bending due to a finite contact potential between tip and sample surface. Taking this into account in the model, we succeed to obtain a quantitative agreement between simulated and measured tunnel spectra for band gaps $(12 ldots 37)$,meV, in agreement to those extracted from the exponential temperature decrease of the longitudinal resistance measured in graphite samples with Bernal stacking order. In contrast, the surface of relatively thick graphite samples with rhombohedral stacking reveals the existence of a maximum in the first derivative $dI/dV$, a behavior compatible with the existence of a flat band. The characteristics of this maximum are comparable to those obtained at low temperatures with similar techniques.
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy have been applied to study the intercalation process of silver underneath a monolayer of graphite (MG) on Ni(111). The room-temperature deposition of silver on top of MG/Ni(111
) system leads to the islands-like growth of Ag on top of the MG. Annealing of the as-deposited system at temperature of 350-450 C results in the intercalation of about 1-2 ML of Ag underneath MG on Ni(111) independently of the thickness of pre-deposited Ag film (3-100 A). The intercalation of Ag is followed by a shift of the graphite-derived valence band states towards energies which are slightly larger than ones characteristic for pristine graphite. This observation is understood in terms of a weakening of chemical bonding between the MG and the substrate in the MG/Ag/Ni(111) system with a small MG/Ni(111) covalent contribution to this interaction.
A method to produce suspensions of graphene sheets by combining solution-based bromine intercalation and mild sonochemical exfoliation is presented. Ultrasonic treatment of graphite in water leads to the formation of suspensions of graphite flakes. T
he delamination is dramatically improved by intercalation of bromine into the graphite before sonication. The bromine intercalation was verified by Raman spectroscopy as well as by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show an almost ten times lower interlayer binding energy after introducing Br2 into the graphite. Analysis of the suspended material by transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM) revealed a significant content of few-layer graphene with sizes up to 30 $mu$m, corresponding to the grain size of the starting material.
