Photoemission Studies of Graphene on SiC: Growth, Interface, and Electronic Structure

  • Chapter
Advances in Solid State Physics

Abstract

The possibility to grow well ordered graphitic films on SiC(0001) surfaces with thicknesses down to a single graphene layer is promising for future applications. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a versatile technique for investigating a variety of fundamentals and technologically relevant properties of this system. We survey results from recent PES studies with a focus on the growth of graphene and few layer graphene, the electronic and structural properties of the interface to the SiC substrate, and the electronic structure of the films.
