To tailor the properties of a graphene sheet by band structure engineering, the issue of doping is decisive to turn graphene into a true device material. For this purpose, a direct incorporation of foreign atoms into the graphene layer by low-energy ion beam implantation has shown to be a versatile method [1] as demonstrated for B and N. Here, we report on the successful implantation of Cobalt atoms into the graphene lattice achieved by low-energy Cobalt implantation at an ion energy of 20eV. After transfer through air, reinsertion into UHV and annealing at 400∘C for 30 minutes, the structural and electronic properties of the ion implanted epitaxial graphene are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STS). Contrary to B and N [2], we find a negligible charge transfer from Co to graphene in agreement with theoretical considerations [2]. In addition, at the topographic position of the defects, STS reveals a pronounced peak in dI/dV-spectra at zero bias voltage. Financial support by the DFG through project We 1889/13-1 is gratefully acknowledged.
