Abstract

We have used Auger electron spectroscopy to study the effect of defects on the surface electronic states of graphite. We modeled the effects of outer layer inclusions composed of carbon and cesium atoms. The experimental Auger spectra are compared with theoretical calculations of the density of states in the valence band of graphite. An increase in defect density deforms the energy bands.
