Abstract
Li-core excitation spectra of stage-1 Li intercalated graphite (LiC 6), obtained by means of inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy (IXSS) for momentum transfer q parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis, are presented and discussed together with the Li-core excitation spectra of Li-metal. The main features of the LiC 6 spectra can be assigned to the symmetry projected DOS of the so-called interlayer states (IS's), where the q-orientation dependence of the spectra enables us to separate the σ-type from the π-type IS's. This interpretation of the Li-core excitation spectra is guided by band structure calculations of Holzwarth et al. ( Phys. Rev. B28, 1013 (1983)), which are near the Fermi level in good agreement with experimental results.
