The authors present a scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) study of the local electronic structure of single and bilayer graphene grown epitaxially on a SiC(0001) surface. Low voltage topographic images reveal fine, atomic-scale carbon networks, whereas higher bias images are dominated by emergent spatially inhomogeneous large-scale structure similar to a carbon-rich reconstruction of SiC(0001). STS spectroscopy shows an similar to 100 meV gaplike feature around zero bias for both monolayer and bilayer graphene/SiC, as well as significant spatial inhomogeneity in electronic structure above the gap edge. Nanoscale structure at the SiC/graphene interface is seen to correlate with observed electronic spatial inhomogeneity. These results are relevant for potential devices involving electronic transport or tunneling in graphene/SiC. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
