Two-dimensional materials such as graphene are fascinating because they combine unique mechanical and electronic properties. Proximity effects introduced from the interaction with intercalates and intercalation layers change the electronic, optical and transport properties of epitaxial graphene (EG) while preserving the regular honeycomb structure. Elements of the IV group such as Pb can be used as intercalants below a graphene sheet, leading to partly well-defined hetero bilayer with different functionalities. Heavy atoms like Pb furthermore, promise to introduce additional effects such as spin-orbit coupling to the electron gas of graphene. Using a density functional based tight binding approach, we investigate the modifications in the electronic structure of EG due to proximity effects induced by intercalation.
