Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>Using high-temperature annealing conditions with a graphite cap covering the C-face of, both, on axis and 8&#176; off-axis 4H-SiC samples, large and homogeneous single epitaxial graphene layers have been grown. Raman spectroscopy shows evidence of the almost free-standing character of these monolayer graphene sheets, which was confirmed by magneto-transport measurements. On the best samples, we find a moderate <it>p</it>-type doping, a high-carrier mobility and resolve the half-integer quantum Hall effect typical of high-quality graphene samples. A rough estimation of the density of states is given from temperature measurements.</p>
