摘要:

外延生长在SiC(0001)表面的石墨烯在实验和理论上都得到了广泛的研究。发现在这种结构中的第一外延石墨烯层是缓冲层,即在与其相关联的能带结构中不存在特征狄拉克锥。Riedl等人(Phys.Rev.Lett. 103,246804(2009))最近在他们的实验工作中观察到,SiC-石墨烯样品的氢嵌入可以恢复自立式石墨烯典型的电子性质。采用从头计算方法对石墨烯层脱耦过程中的氢渗透路径和氢原子的能量稳定位置进行了模拟。从所获得的结果可以得出,由于嵌入,石墨烯层移动离开以实现与SiC表面的约3.9 A的距离。电子能带结构,计算这种准独立的石墨烯,表现出Dirac-cone行为,这是在协议与ARPES测量。

英文摘要:

Epitaxial graphene, grown on SiC(0001) surface, has been widely studied both experimentally and theoretically. It was found that first epitaxial graphene layer in such structures is a buffer layer i.e. there are no characteristic Dirac cones in the band structure associated with it. However, C. Riedl et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 246804 (2009)) in their experimental work observed recently that hydrogen intercalation of SiC-graphene samples can recover electronic properties typical to selfstanding graphene. The possible scenarios of hydrogen intercalation inducing graphene layer decoupling, including both the hydrogen penetration paths and energetically stable positions of hydrogen atoms, were modeled in ab initio DFT calculations. From the obtained results it follows that, due to intercalation, the graphene layer moves away to achieve about 3.9 A distance from the SiC surface. Electronic band structure, calculated for such quasi free standing graphene, exhibits Dirac-cone behavior which is in agreement with ARPES measurements.
