摘要: We use the local density approximation of functional theory to perform a comparative analysis between bonding interactions epitaxial graphene/SiC interface in case Si and C face growth [i.e. on SiC(0001) \(\hbox{SiC}(000\bar{1})\) surfaces respectively]. argue that when SiC substrate below graphene films reconstructs with no additional adatoms, observed electronic differences are outcome an interplay \(sp^2\) \(sp^3\) hybridization atoms. find strong preferential disposition towards for face, whereas scheme face. Notwithstanding purely quantitative, this mismatch is important reflects strength \(\pi\) bond C.
