▎ 摘　　要

A graphene monolayer on single crystal Ir(111) has been studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) before and after exposure to atomic oxygen. With increasing oxygen coverage the Dirac cone, centered on the K-point of the Brillouin zone, broadens and finally transforms to a parabolic rather than linear feature, introducing a pronounced energy bandgap at the Fermi level. The opening of a bandgap of at least 0.35 eV was observed at the oxygen exposure close to the saturation coverage. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
