Electronic structure of ion-implanted graphite

The magnetoreflection technique is applied to study Landau-level transitions in graphite implanted with P31 ions at a variety of fluences and energies. The magnetoreflection spectra are explained in terms of the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure band model with small changes in the band parameters that describe pristine graphite. Neglecting trigonal warping, the fluence dependence of the nearest-neighbor intraplanar (0) and interplanar (1) overlap integrals is presented. The observed changes in these band parameters are consistent with increasing disorder as the fluence of implantation increases. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
