A band gap at the Dirac point of graphene can be created by breaking of the sublattice symmetry through epitaxial growth on a substrate crystal. One of the strongest sublattice-symmetry-breaking interactions with predicted and measured band gaps ranging from 400 meV to more than 3 eV has been attributed to the interfaces of graphene with Ni and Co, which are also promising spin filter interfaces. We apply angle-resolved photoemission to epitaxial graphene on Ni(111) and Co(0001) to show the presence of intact Dirac cones in a strongly n-doped system. Our results challenge the common belief that breaking of sublattice symmetry by a substrate and opening of the band gap at the Dirac energy are in a straightforward relation. A simple effective model of a biased bilayer structure composed of graphene and a sublattice symmetry broken layer, corroborated by density functional theory calculations, demonstrates the general validity of our conclusions.
