Graphene on a graphite surface: effect of interlayer coupling.*

We present low temperature high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy on a sheet of graphene suspended above a graphite substrate. The sheet consists of two regions that couple to the substrate with different strengths resulting in two distinct sequences of Landau Levels (LL). One region exhibits a sequence that is typical of single layer graphene (square root dependence on field and level index) with a reduced Fermi velocity that is renormalized by electron-phonon interactions. The sequence in the other region is anomalous and, according to recent theoretical work [1], it can be attributed to a bilayer with interlayer coupling that is $\sim $ 10 times weaker than that of normal bilayers. We find that the difference between the two regions is also reflected in the values of the Fermi velocity, suggesting that electron-phonon renormalization is suppressed by interlayer coupling. \newline [1] \textit{M.
