▎ 摘  要

Graphene holds promises for exploring exotic superconductivity with Dirac-like fermions. Making graphene a superconductor at large scales is however a long-lasting challenge. A possible solution relies on epitaxially-grown graphene, using a superconducting substrate. Such substrates are scarce, and usually destroy the Dirac character of the electronic band structure. Using electron diffraction (reflection high-energy, and low-energy), scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, we introduce a strategy to induce superconductivity in epitaxial graphene via a remote proximity effect, from the rhenium substrate through an intercalated gold layer. Weak graphene-Au interaction, contrasting with the strong undesired graphene-Re interaction, is demonstrated by a reduced graphene corrugation, an increased distance between graphene and the underlying metal, a linear electronic dispersion and a characteristic vibrational signature, both latter features revealing also a slightpdoping of graphene. We also reveal that the main shortcoming of the intercalation approach to proximity superconductivity is the creation of a high density of point defects in graphene (10(14)cm(-2)). Finally, we demonstrate remote proximity superconductivity in graphene/Au/Re(0001), at low temperature.
