▎ 摘  要

High quality epitaxial graphene films can be applied as templates for tailoring graphene-substrate interfaces that allow for precise control of the charge carrier behavior in graphene through doping and many-body effects. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory we demonstrate that oxygen intercalated epitaxial graphene on Ir(111) has high structural quality, is quasi free-standing, and shows signatures of many-body interactions. Using this system as a template, we show that pn-interfaces can be patterned by adsorption and intercalation of rubidium, and that the n-doped graphene regions exhibit a reduced Coulomb screening via enhanced electron-plasmon coupling. These findings are central for understanding and tailoring the properties of graphene-metal contacts e.g. for realizing quantum tunneling devices.
