Comment on "Potential Energy Landscape for Hot Electrons in Periodically Nanostructured Graphene"

In a recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105 (2010) 036804] the unoccupied electronic states of single layers of graphene on ruthenium are investigated. Here we comment on the interpretation, which deviates in four points from [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 22 (2010) 302001] and outline the corresponding consequences

A derivative formula for the free energy function

We consider bond percolation on the ${\bf Z}^d$ lattice. Let $M_n$ be the number of open clusters in $B(n)=[-n, n]^d$. It is well known that $E_pM_n / (2n+1)^d$ converges to the free energy function $\kappa(p)$ at the zero field. In this paper, we show that $\sigma^2_p(M_n)/(2n+1)^d$ converges to $-(p^2(1-p)+p(1-p)^2)\kappa'(p)$.Comment: 8 pages 1 figur
