Direct observation of electron confinement in epitaxial graphene nanoislandsSoo-Hyon Phark1, Jerome Borme1,2, •Augusto Leon Vanegas1, Marco Corbetta1, Dirk Sander1, and Jürgen Kirschner11Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Weingerg 2, 06120 Halle, Germany — 2International Iberian Nanotechnology laboratory, Avenida Mestre Jose Veiga, 4715-310 Braga, Portugal

A central question for the future applications of graphene is how the substrate and the lateral confinement of a graphene island affect the electronic properties. In this work we have used scanning tunneling spectroscopy to measure the differential conductance dI/dV of the graphene nanoisland deposited on Ir(111)[1]. The dI/dV maps show a spatial modulation, which depends on energy. We ascribe this spatial modulation of the local density of states to quantum confinement. An analysis of the energy dependence of these modulations gives a linear dispersion relation, E=E0± ℏ vF|k| with E0=−90± 20 meV and a Fermi velocity vF=(6.0± 0.4)× 105 m/s. These findings are discussed in view of recently publish data [2,3].
