مستخلص: Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is performed to study the formation mechanism of graphene on 6H-SiC by thermal decomposition in situ and the evolution of an atomically resolved 6×6 structure in the buffer layer is revealed. The long-range order of the 6×6 structure is maintained during growth, but the short-range arrangement changes with temperature. Based on STM images acquired at different voltages, a structure consisting of triangular silicon clusters with the 6×6 structure and filled by amorphous carbon atoms is proposed. The 6×6 silicon clusters serve as the template and amorphous carbon atoms provide the carbon source for graphene growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
