31. We calculate the charge transfer following the procedure used in Ref.. This procedure implies that the charge q can be estimated by integrating plane-averaged density difference Δ n (z) as follows: q = - | e | z 0 d z Δ n (z), where z 0 corresponds to an interface point so that Δ n (z 0) = 0.

43. We calculate the absorption energy of intercalated graphite as follows: Δ E a b s = - Δ E f o r m C 48 + Δ E f o r m C 48 X 4, where the first term corresponds to the energy of the pure graphite formation from a number of noninteracting graphene sheets, and the seconds term is the energy of the intercalated graphite formation. In turn, the binding energy of intercalated graphite we estimate as: Δ E b i n d = Δ E f o r m C 48 X 4 - 2 Δ E f o r m C 24 X 2, where second term is the binding energy in graphene-halogen system. X 2 = F 2, Cl 2, Br 2, and I 2.
