Effects of 1 MeV Electron Beam Irradiation on Multilayer Graphene Grown on 6H-SiC(0001)

초록

Graphene layers grown on 6H-SiC(0001) were irradiated with 1 MeV electron beam to functionalize its surface. A surface analysis using atomic force microscopy, the near edge X-ray adsorption fine structure spectra of C K-edge, and photoemission spectroscopy suggests that the electron beam irradiation in ambient condition can induce oxidation of the graphene layer.
