Abstract

When graphite samples are exposed at elevated temperature to the vapor phase of either alkali metals or a variety of molecular species, they form compounds in which the normal sequence of stacked hexagonal graphite layers is regularly interrupted by layers of the (so-called) intercalated species. These graphite intercalation compounds, or GIC℉s /1,2/, thereby provide us with very interesting examples of two-dimensional (2D) systems of interacting particles in a periodic host lattice. The competing interactions in the GIC℉s that determine the structure and dynamics of the intercalated layer are a) the interatomic or intermolecular potential and b) the host-intercalant potential. There are also, of course, the interlayer interactions responsible for the regular sequencing of the intercalated species and these are repulsive due both to coulombic and elastic effects /3/.
