Abstract
Samples of graphite electrochemically intercalated with FeCl4- in CH3N O2 solution are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) from a submicrometer to atomic scale. A new long range triangular modulation of the charge density is observed on the surface. This modulation is s uperimposed on the usual graphite periodicity. This new structure is t entatively attributed to a charge density wave (CDW) resulting from th e charge transfer between the intercalated species and the graphite ho st.
