We report on a comparative structural characterization of two types of high quality epitaxial graphene layers grown by CVD on 4H-SiC(0001). The layers under study are a single layer graphene on top of a buffer layer and a…
Principal structural defects in graphene layers, synthesized on a carbon-terminated face, i.e. the SiC(000) face of a 4H-SiC substrate, are investigated using microscopic methods. Results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy…
In this study the growth process of epitaxial graphene on SiC was investigated systematically. The transition from the initial buffer layer growth to the formation of the first monolayer graphene domains was investigated by various…
The structure of the SiC(000-1) surface, the C-face of the {0001} SiC surfaces, is studied as a function of temperature and of pressure in a gaseous environment of disilane (Si2H6). Various surface reconstructions are observed, both with…
The buffer layer has been analysed by combined micro-Raman and micro-transmission experiments. The epitaxial graphene growth on the (0001) Si face of 6H-SiC substrates was tuned to get a mixed surface at the early stage of graphitization…
We have analyzed by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) thin films made of few (3-5) graphene layers grown on the C terminated face of 6H-SiC in order to identify the nature of the azimuthal disorder reported in this material. We observe…

We investigated the growth of twisted graphene on graphene/silicon carbide (SiC-G) templates by metal-free chemical vapor deposition (CVD) through a sequential thermal (ST) process, which exploits the ultraclean surface of SiC-G without…
We address the stability of the surface phases that occur on the C-side of 3C-SiC($\bar{1} \bar{1} \bar{1}$) at the onset of graphene formation. In this growth range, experimental reports reveal a coexistence of several surface phases. This…
The atomic and electronic structures of a graphene layer on top of the $(2\times2)$ reconstruction of the SiC (000$\bar{1}$) surface are studied from ab initio calculations. At variance with the (0001) face, no C bufferlayer is found here.…
Epitaxial graphene layers were grown on the C-face of 4H- and 6H-SiC using an argon-mediated growth process. Variations in growth temperature and pressure were found to dramatically affect the morphological properties of the layers. The…
