چکیده
We have observed the energy structure in the density of occupied states of graphene grown on n-type 6H-SiC (0001). The structure revealed with photoelectron spectroscopy is described by creation of the quantum well states whose number and the energy position (E1 = 0.3 eV, E2 = 1.2 eV, E3 = 2.6 eV ) coincide with the calculated ones for deep (V = 2.9 eV) and narrow (d = 2.15 Ǻ) quantum well formed by potential relief of the valence bands in the structure graphene/n-SiC. We believe that the quantum well states should be formed also in graphene on dielectric and in suspended graphene. * Corresponding author. Tel: +7 812 292-7142. E-mail: [email protected]

Hydrogen intercalation of graphene grown on 6H-SiC(0001)
Atomic hydrogen exposures on a monolayer graphene grown on the SiC(0001) surface are shown to result in hydrogen intercalation. The hydrogen intercalation induces a transformation of the monolayer graphene and the carbon buffer layer to bi-layer graphene without a buffer layer. The STM, LEED, and core-level photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal that hydrogen atoms can go underneath the...

Micro-Raman analysis of the influence of hydrogen intercalation on the epitaxial graphene grown on 4H-SiC(0001) substrate K.Grodecki
It is commonly accepted that properties of epitaxial graphene (EG) grown on SiC are determined by interaction with substrate. It was found, that hydrogen intercalation of EG grown on SiC(0001) substrates by sublimation is a promising method to increase the mobility of carriers [1]. As verified by Raman spectroscopy [2] sublimation grown samples show much stronger interaction with the SiC substr...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of preferential sites of hydrogen incorporated in epitaxial graphene on 6H-SiC(0001)
The hydrogen H incorporation in the epitaxial graphene buffer layer on 6H-SiC 0001 with various H coverages is investigated using the density-functional method. The most stable site for a single H atom is on top of a threefold C atom in the graphene buffer layer, whereas the incorporation into the interfacial layer is less favored. However, when the H concentration is above 7.15 1014 cm−2, the ...
