We present magneto-optical polarization and x-ray natural linear dichroism measurements [1] at the C 1s edge of graphene on metallic substrates. Graphene-metal interfaces show a strong hybridization between graphene π-states and 3d-states of the metallic substrate. Intercalation of gold in the graphene/Ni system leads to a change in the orientation and strength of this bonding which is deduced quantitatively. Additionally we observe a shift of the conduction bands (CB) at the Dirac point while the CB at the M-point is not affected. Furthermore the XMCD as well as T-MOKE of graphene/Ni is presented, which allows for the determination of the spin split density of states of the CB and the determination of the magnetic moment of magnetized graphene showing that magnetism in graphene is carried by the π-orbitals.
