Rotated domain network in graphene on cubic-SiC(001)
The atomic structure of the cubic-SiC(001) surface during ultra-high vacuum graphene synthesis has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction. Atomically resolved STM studies prove the synthesis of a uniform, millimeter-scale graphene overlayer consisting of nanodomains rotated by +/- 13.5 degrees relative to the < 110 >-directed boundaries.
