Preparation and investigation of graphene on Rh(111) — •Ole Zander1, Mikhail Fonin1, Sönke Voss1, Ulrich Rüdiger1, and Yuri S. Dedkov21Fachbereich Physik, Universität Konstanz, 78457 Konstanz — 2Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, 14195 Berlin, Germany

Graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb-lattice, exhibits exceptional electronic properties chracteristic for twodimensional Dirac fermions. There are three major ways of graphene preparation: exfoliation of graphite, thermal decomposition (graphitization) of SiC and low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on noble metals. The latter method is the most promising route for large-scale graphene preparation yielding excellent film qualities with low defect densities over large length scales. Depending on the metallic substrate, graphene grows completely flat or corrugated.

By using CVD we succeeded in growing a monolayer of graphite on Rh(111). High resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging revealed a corrugated graphene superstructure of about 30 Å periodicity. Depending on the preparation conditions we observed either a mixture of several superstructures occurring at lower preparation temperatures with periodicities from 11 Å up to 30 Å, or a single phase, the 30 Å moiré-pattern, at higher temperatures. Moreover, we successfully used grapehen nanomesh on Rh(111) as a template for the growth of highly-ordered d-metal cluster arrays as suggested in [1].
