First principles density functional theory with ultrasoft pseudopotentials constructed with the local density approximation was used to investigate adhesion at Al(111)/graphite(0001). The energy difference between four interface registries we explored was negligible. The contours of the electron localization function revealed minimal localization at the Al/graphite interface suggesting minimal Al-C bonding. The computed work of separation, W-sep, was 0.11 J/m(2), and the work of decohesion for a single layer of graphite transferring to aluminum, W-dec, was 0.077 J/m(2). Although our theoretical framework does not include the weak van der Waals forces that mitigate interlayer bonding between graphite sheets, the fact that W-dec < W-sep suggests that it may be energetically favorable for one layer of graphite to transfer to Al instead of separating right at the interface.
