论文摘要
我们已经在SIC(0001)底物上的PB沉积双层石墨烯(BLG)中进行了扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和角度分辨光发射光谱(ARPE),以研究电子结构对PB沉积量的依赖性。我们已经观察到,PB原子由STM形成岛,而BLG的$π$带则通过ARPES向Fermi级别转移。随着PB的量增加,这种类似孔掺杂的能量转移会增强,我们能够通过4 mL沉积将狄拉克间隙调整到费米水平。考虑到频带分散,我们建议类似孔掺杂的效应与PB岛和BLG/SIC的工作函数之间的差异有关。 BLG/SIC的功能低于Pb。我们的结果提出了一种简单的石墨烯带调节方法,并同时选择了底物和沉积材料。
We have performed scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) in Pb-deposited bilayer Graphene (BLG) on SiC(0001) substrate to investigate the dependence of the electronic structures on Pb-deposition amount. We have observed that the Pb atoms form islands by STM and the $π$ bands of the BLG shift toward the Fermi level by ARPES. This hole-doping-like energy shift is enhanced as the amount of Pb is increased, and we were able to tune the Dirac gap to the Fermi level by 4 ML deposition. Considering the band dispersion, we suggest that hole-doping-like effect is related to the difference between the work functions of Pb islands and BLG/SiC; the work function of BLG/SiC is lower than that of Pb. Our results propose an easy way of band tuning for graphene with appropriate selection of both the substrate and deposited material.
