Abstract

Carbon 1s X-ray photoemission spectra of alkali graphite intercalation compounds are shown to provide detailed information about the distribution of charge among the carbon layers and atoms. The interior layers of higher stage compounds contain little charge and remain similar to graphite. The charge in the bounding layers is strongly localized to screen the alkali intercalate ions. The c-axis charge distribution in KC12n is in reasonable accord with the electrostatic screening model of Safran and Hamann.
