The atomic structure and morphology of ultrathin epitaxial Bi islands grown on the graphene/SiC surface was examined by SPA LEED and STM. Bi films with an average height of a few bilayers were deposited at RT and annealed at 410 K for 30 min afterwards. A Volmer-Weber growth mode with a predominance of the Bi(110) orientation was found. LEED patterns show that the Bi(110) structure has three domains rotated by 60∘, with each domain having two subdomains rotated by ±2∘ with the zig-zag direction of Bi parallel to the armchair direction of graphene and four (minority-)subdomains with the zig-zag direction of Bi parallel to the zig-zag direction of graphene. Moreover, STM investigations revealed an elongation of the islands in the zig-zag direction of Bi as well as preferential ("magic") thicknesses (even numbers of Bi monolayers).
Additionally, magneto transport measurements using a 4 T magnet were performed in order to investigate the influence of the Bi islands on the weak localization effekt in graphene.
