Magnetotransport properties of quasi-free-standing epitaxial graphene bilayer on SiC: evidence for Bernal stacking

We investigate the magnetotransport properties of quasi-free-standing epitaxial graphene bilayer on SiC, grown by atmospheric pressure graphitization in Ar, followed by H(2) intercalation. At the charge neutrality point, the longitudinal resistance shows an insulating behavior, which follows a temperature dependence consistent with variable range hopping transport in a gapped state. In a perpendicular magnetic field, we observe quantum Hall states (QHSs) both at filling factors (ν) multiples of four (ν = 4, 8, 12), as well as broken valley symmetry QHSs at ν = 0 and ν = 6. These results unambiguously show that the quasi-free-standing graphene bilayer grown on the Si-face of SiC exhibits Bernal stacking.
