We examine the stacking order of multilayer graphene grown on the SiC$(000bar{1})$ surface using low-energy electron diffraction and surface X-ray diffraction. We show that the films contain a high density of rotational stacking faults caused by three types of rotated graphene: sheets rotated $30^circ$ and $pm 2.20^circ$ relative to the SiC substrate. These angles are unique because they correspond to commensurate phases of layered graphene, both with itself and with the SiC substrate. {it Ab intio} calculations show that these rotational phases electronically decouple adjacent graphene layers. The band structure from graphene at fault boundaries displays linear energy dispersion at the $K$-point (Dirac cones), nearly identical to that of a single graphene sheet.
We present a structural analysis of the graphene-4HSiC(0001) interface using surface x-ray reflectivity. We find that the interface is composed of an extended reconstruction of two SiC bilayers. The interface directly below the first graphene sheet i
We review progress in developing epitaxial graphene as a material for carbon electronics. In particular, improvements in epitaxial graphene growth, interface control and the understanding of multilayer epitaxial graphenes electronic properties are di
The growth, atomic structure, and electronic property of trilayer graphene (TLG) on Ru(0001) were studied by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy in combined with tight-binding approximation (TBA) calculations. TLG on Ru(000
First-principles surface phase diagrams reveal that epitaxial monolayer graphene films on the Si side of 3C-SiC(111) can exist as thermodynamically stable phases in a narrow range of experimentally controllable conditions, defining a path to the high
Patterning of graphene is key for device fabrication. We report a way to increase or reduce the number of layers in epitaxial graphene grown on the C-face (000-1) of silicon carbide by the deposition of a 120 nm to 150nm-thick silicon nitride (SiN) m
