We present tunneling differential conductance (dI/dV) spectra and 2D conductance maps acquired over both positive and negative defects in magnetic fields up to 8 T. The measurements were performed on multilayer epitaxial graphene using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at 4 K under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Landau level drift states are found to follow the local potential (determined independently at near-zero magnetic field), but near a negatively-charged defect a bound (or quasibound) state originates from the n = -1 Landau Level. The defect state Stark shifts and finally ionizes under the influence of the STM tip electric field.
