6 H- SiC(0001)上的外延石墨烯层中的结构应变的证据

Evidence of structural strain in epitaxial graphene layers on 6H-SiC(0001)

摘要:

利用俄歇电子能谱(AES)和去偏振拉曼光谱(Raman)研究了在Si端6 H-SiC(0001)上外延生长石墨烯层的早期阶段。散射光的去偏振分量的选择导致C-C键信号相对于二阶SiC拉曼信号显著增加,这允许分辨亚单层生长,包括对于$\sim$ 3的AES C/Si比的类金刚石碳基质中的单个局部C=C二聚体,以及具有离域电子和狄拉克单带色散的应变石墨烯层,AES C/Si比为$>$ 6。发现在室温下测量的线性应变是压缩的,这可以归因于石墨烯和SiC的热膨胀系数之间的大差异。在固定的退火温度下,可以通过调节生长时间来改变压缩应变的大小。

英文摘要:

The early stages of epitaxial graphene layer growth on the Si-terminated 6H-SiC(0001) are investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and depolarized Raman spectroscopy. The selection of the depolarized component of the scattered light results in a significant increase in the C-C bond signal over the second order SiC Raman signal, which allows to resolve submonolayer growth, including individual, localized C=C dimers in a diamond-like carbon matrix for AES C/Si ratio of $\sim$3, and a strained graphene layer with delocalized electrons and Dirac single-band dispersion for AES C/Si ratio $>$6. The linear strain, measured at room temperature, is found to be compressive, which can be attributed to the large difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of graphene and SiC. The magnitude of the compressive strain can be varied by adjusting the growth time at fixed annealing temperature.
