Abstract: Multi-atomic-layer systems stacked with monolayer graphene/monolayerh-BN/Ni(111) have been grown in an epitaxial manner. The graphene overlayer formation changes drastically the interfacial interaction between theh-BN layer and Ni(111). As a result, a peculiar property of the monolayerh-BN on Ni(111) changes to a bulklike one. Theπ–dorbital hybridization at the interface disappears. Accordingly, a metallic character of monolayerh-BN disappears, the soft TO⊥phonon returns to the bulk one, and the reduced lattice constant ofh-BN on Ni(111) also returns to the bulk one. In contrast, theh-BN overlayer formation does not change the interface between the monolayer graphene and Ni(111). From those data, the strength order of interfacial bonds changes as follows: graphene/Ni(111) > graphene/h-BN >h-BN/Ni(111).
