Abstract
We report on electrical measurements on epitaxial graphene on 6H-SiC (0001). The graphene layers were fabricated by thermal decomposition in Argon atmosphere. Large van der Pauw structures and Hall bars were patterned by e-beam lithography, the Hall bars ranged from rather large structures down to sub-micrometer sized Hall bars entirely placed on atomically °at substrate terraces. We present Hall measurements in a broad temperature range, Shubnikov de Haas oscillations and quantum Hall steps. The data lead to the conclusion that electrons in epitaxial graphene have the same quasi-relativistic properties previously shown in exfoliated graphene. A remarkable di®erence, however, is the stronger coupling to substrate phonons and the relatively high charging being an intrinsic property of this epitaxial system.
