摘要:

利用低能电子显微镜(LEEM)测量了石墨化SiC(0001)对低能电子的反射率。反射率显示出明显的量子化振荡作为电子能量和石墨厚度的函数。薄石墨膜中的传导带形成离散的能级,其波矢垂直于表面。入射电子与这些量子化导带态的共振增强了电子通过薄膜传输到SiC衬底中,导致反射率下降。利用紧束缚和第一性原理计算很好地解释了倾角位置。石墨厚度分布可以从LEEM反射率测量显微镜确定。

英文摘要:

Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) was used to measure the reflectivity of low-energy electrons from graphitized SiC(0001). The reflectivity shows distinct quantized oscillations as a function of the electron energy and graphite thickness. Conduction bands in thin graphite films form discrete energy levels whose wave vectors are normal to the surface. Resonance of the incident electrons with these quantized conduction band states enhances electrons to transmit through the film into the SiC substrate, resulting in dips in the reflectivity. The dip positions are well explained using tight-binding and first-principles calculations. The graphite thickness distribution can be determined microscopically from LEEM reflectivity measurements.
