How the SiC substrate impacts graphene atomic and electronic structures
arXiv:0906.1701 · doi:10.1002/pssr.200903145
Abstract
Graphene, the two-dimensional form of carbon presents outstanding electronic and transport properties. This gives hope for the development of applications in nanoelectronics. However, for industrial purpose, graphene has to be supported by a substrate. We focus here on the graphene-on-SiC system to discuss how the SiC substrate interacts with the graphene layer and to show the effect of the interface on graphene atomic and electronic structures.
