Elaborate density functional theory (DFT) calculations that include the effect of van der Waals (vdW) interactions have been carried out for graphene epitaxially grown on Ru(0001). The calculations predict a reduction of structural corrugation in the observed moire pattern of about 25% (similar to 0: 4 angstrom) with respect to DFT calculations without vdW corrections. The simulated STM topographies are close to the experimental ones in a wide range of bias voltage around the Fermi level.
