Abstract

Unoccupied states of graphite single crystals have been probed in a wide energy range. Angle-resolved secondary-electron emission excited by electrons has been used to map out the unoccupied bands above the vacuum level. Highly dispersive structures are observed in the 0--30-eV kinetic-energy range of the electron yield collected along the \ensuremath{\Gamma}--M and \ensuremath{\Gamma}--K symmetry directions of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. The results are in good agreement with recent band-structure calculations. The angular dependence of plasmons has been investigated and clear effects related to graphite anisotropy are observed and interpreted.
