摘要
We report noncontact, optical determination of free-charge carrier mobility, sheet density, and resistivity parameters in epitaxial graphene at room temperature using terahertz and midinfrared ellipsometry and optical-Hall effect measurements. The graphene layers are grown on Si- and C-terminated semi-insulating 6H silicon carbide polar surfaces. Data analysis using classical Drude functions and multilayer modeling render the existence of a p-type channel with different sheet densities and effective mass parameters for the two polar surfaces. The optically obtained parameters are in excellent agreement with results from electrical Hall effect measurements. (c) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3548543]
