Graphene grown on metals has proven to be an excellent approach to obtain high quality graphene films. However, special care has to be taken in order to understand the interaction of graphene with the substrate since it can strongly modify its properties.
We have grown one monolayer graphene on Cu (111) by using a new technique. By means of low temperature STM/STS experiments, complemented by density functional theory calculations, we have obtained information about the structural and electronic properties of our graphene samples with atomic precision and high energy resolution. Our work shows that depending on the STM tip apex and the tunnel parameters we can get access to either the graphene layer, the copper surface underneath or even both at the same time. Moreover, this approach can also be applied to investigate the interaction of point defects in the graphene layer with the underlying substrate .
