Intact Dirac Cones at Broken Sublattice Symmetry: Photoemission Study of Graphene on Ni and Co

The appearance of massless Dirac fermions in graphene requires two equivalent carbon sublattices of trigonal shape. While the generation of an effective mass and a band gap at the Dirac point remains an unresolved problem for freestanding extended graphene, it is well established by breaking transla...
