Graphene’s band structure yields
unusual properties

EF
The velocity of an electron
at the Fermi level (vF)
Is inversely related to meff
Effective mass (m*) ~ [dE2/dk2]-1
Most semiconductors, 0.1 m0 < m* < 1 me
Graphene, m* < 0.01 m0 (depending on number of carriers)
Therefore, expect VERY high mobility in graphene
Both holes and electrons can be carriers
4
Effective mass for graphene does get very
small as n~ 1012

The Big Problem with graphene: an imagined conversation:
A. OK: Graphene is great, lots of interesting properties for devices!
B. How do you make a device?
A. You need a sheet of graphene!
B. OK, how do you get a sheet of graphene?
A. HOPG, scotch tape, and tweezers!
B. !@#$%%
7
How do you “grow” graphene?
You can evaporate Si from SiC(0001) (either face)
Popularized by the de Heer group at Georgia Tech.
8
Can grow multilayer films of graphene on SiC (azimuthally
rotated from each other—electronically decoupled!)

Angle resolved UPS (Emtsev, et al, PRB 77(2008) 155303)
shows transition to graphene band structure
11
Adjacent layers on graphene /SiC are decoupled from each other,
Due to azimuthal rotation
12
Graphene on SiC(0001) Not uniform on an atomic level, different regions due
to different #s of layers, orientations

13
Graphene/SiC photoemission: varying hv can vary the
sampling depth (Emtsev, et al, PRB 77 (2008) 155303
14
The covalently bound stretched graphene (CSG model)
Emtsev, et al., PRB 77 (2008) 155303
15
Pertinent Questions: How do Adjacent Graphene Sheets couple electronically?
Single layer Graphene (good)
Many layerGraphite (meh!?)
When/how this transition occurs
is very pertinent to devices
Answer: On SiC, Adjacent Sheets apparently not coupled due to azimuthal
rotation
16
Core (left) and valence band (right) PES
graphene growth on SiC (Emtsev, et al)
Explain the implications of this for graphene coupling between
layers

Graphene (few layer) on Co3O4:
Much more conductive than

Why??
•Significant doping?????
•High mobility (How high)?????

Conclusion:
Graphene:
Large area growth on practical
substrates critical for device
development.
Interactions with substrates and
(maybe) other graphene layers are
critical to device properties
