▎ 摘  要

We show experimentally that few layer graphene (FLG) grown on the carbon terminated surface (C-face) of 3C-SiC(111) is composed of decoupled graphene sheets. Landau level spectroscopy on FLG graphene is performed using the infrared optical Hall effect. We find that Landau level transitions in the FLG exhibit polarization preserving selection rules and the transition energies obey a square-root dependence on the magnetic field strength. These results show that FLG on C-face 3C-SiC(111) behave effectively as a single layer graphene with linearly dispersing bands (Dirac cones) at the graphene K point. We estimate from the Landau level spectroscopy an upper limit of the Fermi energy of about 60 meV in the FLG, which corresponds to a carrier density below 2.5 x 10(11) cm(-2). Low-energy electron diffraction mu-LEED) reveals the presence of azimuthally rotated graphene domains with a typical size of
