▎ 摘  要

The intercalation of silicon under graphene on the Co(0001) surface, which is accompanied by the formation of a silicon solid solution in cobalt and by the formation of a surface crystalline Co2Si phase, has been investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that the formation of cobalt silicide leads to a substantial weakening of the hybridization of electronic states of graphene and cobalt and to the recovery of the Dirac spectrum of electronic states of graphene near the Fermi level. This has made it possible to investigate the electron doping of graphene on the cobalt silicide substrate upon deposition of lithium on its surface. It has been found that doping with lithium leads to a significant charge transfer onto graphene, and the electron concentration reaches 3.1 x 10(14) cm(-2). Moreover, the specific form of the Fermi surface creates favorable conditions for the enhancement of the electron-phonon coupling. As a result, the formed system can be considered as a candidate for the creation of superconductivity in single-layer graphene.
