摘要
A first-principles band calculation is performed on monolayer graphite on a TiC(111) surface. Occupied pi bands of the monolayer graphite are similar to those of a bulk graphite and are lowered by 2 eV. Unoccupied pi* bands are largely affected and split into bonding and antibonding bands due to a hybridization effect with d-bands of top-layer Ti. A calculated local density of states shows a 2 x 2 superstructure of graphite lattice, which explains the shorter period of the moire pattern observed in scanning tunneling microscopy.
