Sci Rep. 2019 Nov 21;9(1):17313. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-53928-2.

Abstract

In this paper, acquisition of the valence Compton profile of few-layer graphene using electron energy-loss spectroscopy at large scattering angle is reported. The experimental Compton profile is compared with the corresponding theoretical profile, calculated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method based on the local-density approximation. Good agreement exists between the theoretical calculation and experiment. The graphene profile indicates a substantially greater delocalization of the ground state charge density compared to that of graphite.
