Two distinct phases of bilayer graphene films on Ru(0001).

چکیده
By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy we reveal the structural and electronic properties of multilayer graphene on Ru(0001). We prove that large ethylene exposure allows the synthesis of two distinct phases of bilayer graphene with different properties. The first phase has Bernal AB stacking with respect to the first graphene layer and displays weak vertical interaction and electron doping. The long-range ordered moiré pattern modulates the crystal potential and induces replicas of the Dirac cone and minigaps. The second phase has an AA stacking sequence with respect to the first layer and displays weak structural and electronic modulation and p-doping. The linearly dispersing Dirac state reveals the nearly freestanding character of this novel second-layer phase.

Electronic structure of few-layer epitaxial graphene on Ru(0001).
The electronic structure of epitaxial monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer graphene on Ru(0001) was determined by selected-area angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (micro-ARPES). Micro-ARPES band maps provide evidence for a strong electronic coupling between monolayer graphene and the adjacent metal, which causes the complete disruption of the graphene pi-bands near the Fermi energy. However,...

Two-dimensional Au islands of different thicknesses grown on graphene/Ru(0001) were used to study the corrugation of the moire ́ structure of graphene/Ru(0001) and discriminate between its mainly structural or electronic character. A comparison of the apparent corrugation measured by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for different Au thicknesses with results of elasticity theory equations appl...
