TLDR
Low temperature high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of graphene flakes on graphite that exhibit the structural and electronic properties of graphene decoupled from the substrate are reported.
Abstract
We report low temperature high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of graphene flakes on graphite that exhibit the structural and electronic properties of graphene decoupled from the substrate. Pronounced peaks in the tunneling spectra develop with increasing field revealing a Landau level sequence that provides a direct way to identify graphene and to determine the degree of its coupling to the substrate. The Fermi velocity and quasiparticle lifetime, obtained from the positions and width of the peaks, provide access to the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy of ultra-flat graphene on hexagonal boron nitride

TL;DR: Scanning tunnelling microscopy is used to show that graphene conforms to hBN, as evidenced by the presence of Moiré patterns, but contrary to predictions, this conformation does not lead to a sizeable band gap because of the misalignment of the lattices.

Cloning of Dirac fermions in graphene superlattices

TL;DR: Graphene superlattices such as this one provide a way of studying the rich physics expected in incommensurable quantum systems and illustrate the possibility of controllably modifying the electronic spectra of two-dimensional atomic crystals by varying their crystallographic alignment within van der Waals heterostuctures.

The rise of graphene

TL;DR: Owing to its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where quantum relativistic phenomena can now be mimicked and tested in table-top experiments.

Observation of electron–hole puddles in graphene using a scanning single-electron transistor

TL;DR: In this article, a scanning single-electron transistor is used to map the local density of states and the carrier density landscape in the vicinity of the neutrality point, and it is shown that electron-hole puddles can be quantitatively accounted for by considering noninteracting electrons and holes.
