Dynamic observation of layer-by-layer growth and removal of graphene on Ru(0001).

Structural and Electronic Properties of Pb- Intercalated Graphene on Ru(0001)

The Pb intercalation at the interface of monolayer graphene (MG) and Ru(0001) is studied by means of low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM) and Raman spectroscopy. Despite being covered by MG, the atomic structures of the Pb layer formed between MG and Ru(0001) have been directly imaged using LT-STM. The Pb layer intercalated underneath MG exhibits a √7 × √7-R19° superstructure ...

Deposition of metal clusters on single-layer graphene/Ru(0001): Factors that govern cluster growth

Electronic structure of few-layer epitaxial graphene on Ru(0001).

The electronic structure of epitaxial monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer graphene on Ru(0001) was determined by selected-area angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (micro-ARPES). Micro-ARPES band maps provide evidence for a strong electronic coupling between monolayer graphene and the adjacent metal, which causes the complete disruption of the graphene pi-bands near the Fermi energy. However,...

The 2-D growth of gold on single-layer graphene/Ru(0001): Enhancement of CO adsorption

Graphene on Ru(0001) Moiré Corrugation Studied by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy on Au/Graphene/Ru(0001) Heterostructures

Two-dimensional Au islands of different thicknesses grown on graphene/Ru(0001) were used to study the corrugation of the moire ́ structure of graphene/Ru(0001) and discriminate between its mainly structural or electronic character. A comparison of the apparent corrugation measured by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for different Au thicknesses with results of elasticity theory equations appl...
