Abstract
The growth process of graphene structure on 6H-SiC(0001) surface has been studied using the classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the simulated annealing technique. We show that carbon atoms of the 6H-SiC(0001) subsurface after sublimation of Si atoms can be self-organized to form local monolayer graphene structures. This process is similar to the formation of graphene on the 6H-SiC(0001) surface, depending strongly on annealing temperature and coverage of carbon atoms on the SiC(0001)surface. The local graphene structures can be formed on 6H-SiC(0001)as the annealing temperature is around 1400 K. This transformation temperature is in good agreement with experimental observations (1080 ℃), but is lower than that of growing graphene on SiC(0001) surface (T≈1450 K). In addition, not only single layer but also bilayer graphene structure can be formed, associated with the increase of the coverage of carbon atoms on SiC(0001)surface.
