Epitaxial graphene islands are produced by ethylene deposition at room Temperature and subsequent annealing to 1320 K [1]. dI/dU curves on Ir(111) and graphene islands look quite similar, while dI/dU images provide confined states within the islands in addition to standing waves around the islands. Edge states are observed at around +50 mV sample voltage and are additionally probed by magnetoresistance curves using a spin-polarized tip.
