We investigated a quasi-free standing monolayer graphene sample[1] on SiC(0001) obtained by decoupling the buffer-layer from Si-terminated surface by hydrogen intercalation. We used X-ray Standing Wave technique (XSW), combining dynamical diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, to detect the coherent distribution of the chemically different species (Si and C) at the interface. Our analysis shows two different carbon species (C in the graphene layer and C in the SiC bulk); we find that the adsorption height of the graphene layer is slightly higher than theoretically predicted. The discrepancy, attributed to the very weak graphene-substrate intercation, is still challenging for theory[2].
