Abstract

Chemical doping of epitaxial graphene (EG) by organic free radicals (4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperridinyloxy; 4-amino-TEMPO) was investi-gated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tunneling spectros-copy (STS), and high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). STM images revealed that the empty density of states near the adsorption site significantly decreased as a result of radical doping. STS indicated that 4-amino-TEMPO radicals acted as n-type dopants on monolayer graphene. The radicals adsorbed onto EG through the nitroxide groups, leaving the amine group unreacted, which was confirmed by the binding energies of N 1s and O 1s core-level spectra. Further-more, the measured work function changes verified that increased adsorption of the radicals on EG showed n-type doping characteristics.
