✦ Synopsis

The three-dimensional 3D effects critically influence the physical properties of graphite. These effects in unoccupied Ž . bands are studied by very-low-energy electron diffraction VLEED . The position and dispersion of the 3D bands coupling to vacuum, including the interlayer state, are determined. The data are compared to a state-of-the-art DFT band calculation. The non-free-electron and self-energy effects are assessed.
