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…

On the SiC(0001) surface (the silicon face of SiC), epitaxial graphene is obtained by sublimation of Si from the substrate. The graphene film is separated from the bulk by a carbon-rich interface layer (hereafter called the buffer layer)…

We present a scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) study of the local electronic structure of single and bilayer graphene grown epitaxially on a SiC(0001) surface. Low voltage topographic images reveal fine, atomic-scale carbon networks,…

The formation of graphene on the (0001) surface of SiC (the Si-face) is studied by atomic force microscopy, low-energy electron microscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. The graphene forms due to preferential sublimation…

Atomic-scale topography of epitaxial multilayer graphene grown on 4H-SiC(0001) was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Bunched nano-ridges ten times smaller than previously recorded were observed throughout the surface,…

We report on an investigation of quasi-free-standing graphene on 6H-SiC(0001) which was prepared by intercalation of hydrogen under the buffer layer. Using infrared absorption spectroscopy we prove that the SiC(0001) surface is saturated…

Graphene grown epitaxially on SiC has been proposed as a material for carbon-based electronics. Understanding the interface between graphene and the SiC substrate will be important for future applications. We report the ability to image the…

We present a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of a gently-graphitized 6H-SiC(0001) surface in ultra high vacuum. From an analysis of atomic scale images, we identify two different kinds of terraces, which we unambiguously attribute…

Using highly controlled coverages of graphene on SiC(0001), we have studied the structure of the first graphene layer that grows on the SiC interface. This layer, known as the buffer layer, is semiconducting. Using x-ray reflectivity and…

Quasi-free standing epitaxial graphene is obtained on SiC(0001) by hydrogen intercalation. The hydrogen moves between the 6root3 reconstructed initial carbon layer and the SiC substrate. The topmost Si atoms which for epitaxial graphene are…

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…

Graphene on SiC intercalated with two-dimensional metal layers, such as Pt, offers a versatile platform for applications in spintronics, catalysis, and beyond. Recent studies have demonstrated that Pt atoms can intercalate at the…

Growth of epitaxial graphene on the C-face of SiC has been investigated. Using a confinement controlled sublimation (CCS) method, we have achieved well controlled growth and been able to observe propagation of uniform monolayer graphene.…

We have developed a method for depositing graphene monolayers and bilayers with minimum lateral dimensions of 2-10 nm by the mechanical exfoliation of graphite onto the Si(100)-2x1:H surface. Room temperature, ultra-high vacuum (UHV)…

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…

Graphene layers were created on both C and Si faces of semi-insulating, on-axis, 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates. The process was performed under high vacuum (<10-4 mbar) in a commercial chemical vapor deposition SiC reactor. A method for H2…

The potential of graphene to impact the development of the next generation of electronics has renewed interest in its growth and structure. The graphitization of hexagonal SiC surfaces provides a viable alternative for the synthesis of…

We present an investigation of large, isolated, graphene ribbons grown on the C-face of on-axis semi-insulating 6H-SiC wafers. Using a graphite cap to cover the SiC sample, we modify the desorption of the Si species during the Si…

We propose a table-top method to obtain bilayer quasi-free-standing epitaxial-graphene (QFSEG) on SiC(0001). By applying a microwave annealing in air to a monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) grown on SiC(0001), the buffer layer is decoupled…

Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials integrated with graphene offer a compelling platform for next-generation spintronic devices, yet nickel in its 2D form remains largely unexplored, due to fundamental synthesis limitations. Here, we…
