摘要
We report on the interlayer screening effect of graphene using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). By using a gate device configuration that enables the supply of electronic carriers in graphene sheets, the vertical screening properties were studied from measuring the surface potential gradient. The results show layer-dependence of graphene sheets, as the number of graphene layers increases, the surface potential decreases exponentially. In addition, we calculate the work function-related information of the graphene layers using KPFM.
