Graphene nanoribbons (GNR), directly grown on insulating SiC-templates, have attracted much intention due to their unique electronic properties. The growth of armchair and zig-zag orientated GNR with tunable band gaps and topologically protected metallic edge states was recently demonstrated [1,2]. Here, we present a detailed study of the structural and electronic transport properties of novel oxygen-intercalated bilayer graphene nanoribbons grown along step edges of SiC(0001) substrates [3]. The local transport properties as well as the microscopic structure have been investigated using a 4-tip STM/SEM system. Probe spacing dependent measurements combined with spectroscopic analyses reveal a hole concentration of 1 × 1013 cm−2 and mobilities up to 700 cm2/Vs of as-grown GNR at room temperature, which we attribute to an interlayer charge hopping mechanism.
