Confinement of electrons in graphene quantum dots and nano ribbons with atomically well defined edges represents an exciting field of research, owing to predicted peculiar electronic and magnetic properties.
Here, we present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) investigations of graphene nano flakes (GNFs) prepared by temperature programmed growth on Ir(111) [1] and subsequent intercalation of Au for electronic decoupling. The electronic properties of the graphene flakes are addressed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Within our atomically resolved constant-energy maps we can probe the electronic states of the graphene electrons exploiting the intervalley scattering. The hereby obtained dispersion relation shows a linear behavior and can be unambiguously discriminated from the parabolic dispersion relation of the Au(111) surface state electrons. The intervalley scattering of graphene electrons forms discs in the Fourier transforms of constant-energy maps, which include additional scattering features compared to monolayer graphene.
