21. We note that for graphene on nickel, besides the well-known epitaxial growth, (13-17) also nonepitaxial growth has been observed recently, (4, 19) depending on the growth conditions.

43. We note, however, that the HREELS data points are often considerably scattered. For example, in the case of pure graphite the experimental gap is not completely closed (see the data of ref 41 in Figure 2) even though the closure of the gap is dictated by the symmetry of the system.

50. To demonstrate the average effect of the graphene-substrate interaction, we have performed a spin-unpolarized calculation in the local density approximation. For the details of the spin-polarized band structure, we refer to refs 6 and 35.
51. The result is similar to the phonon dispersion of pure graphene when calculated under neglect of the EPC with the π bands (Figure 1 of ref 45).
52. We start at the (LDA) equilibrium value of 2.02 Å and increase the binding distance in steps of 0.2 Å. Since this no longer corresponds to the equilibrium geometry, we assume a planar graphene sheet and calculate only the in-plane modes.
