Structural studies of epitaxial graphene formed on SiC{0001} surfaces

In this thesis, we report on the structural studies of epitaxial graphene formed on polar faces of SiC; the (0001) and the ( 0001 ) surfaces (the so-called Si-face and C-face, respectively). Graphene films are prepared by heating the SiC substrates either in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) or in 1-atm-argon...
