Abstract

In this letter we report on transport measurements of epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) with oxygen adsorption. In a $50\times 50 \mu\mathrm{m^2}$ size Hall bar we observe the half-integer quantum Hall effect with a transverse resistance plateau quantized at filling factor around $\nu = 2$, an evidence of monolayer graphene. We find low electron concentration of $9\times 10^{11} \textrm{cm}^{-2}$ and we show that a doping of $10^{13}\textrm{cm}^{-2}$ which is characteristic of intrinsic epitaxial graphene can be restored by vacuum annealing. The effect of oxygen adsorption on carrier density is confirmed by local angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements. These results are important for understanding oxygen adsorption on epitaxial graphene and for its application to metrology and mesoscopic physics where a low carrier concentration is required.
