Abstract
It is experimentally shown that the initially shifted Dirac point in
graphene-on-dielectric devices can be brought to zero by illuminating the samples with UV light. This is
much easier to accomplish compared to the common procedure of annealing at high
temperature. Internal photoemission is concluded to be responsible for the observed
effect.
