Characteristics of Graphite Films on Silicon- and Carbon-Terminated Faces of Silicon Carbide

Ultrathin graphite films, with thickness from 1-30 atomic layers, are grown on the Si-terminated and C-terminated faces of 6H-SiC and 4H-SiC via thermal desorption of silicon in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber or in a high-vacuum RF furnace. Graphite LEED patterns and atom-resolved STM images on...
