Au intercalation at the graphene-Ru(0001) interface is investigated at elevated temperature by using low energy electron - and x-ray photoelectron emission microscopy (LEEM/XPEEM). Graphene (g) growth by ethylene decomposition at 1030 K on a Au pre-covered Ru surface pushes the Au adatoms towards the g-free surface area. When instead, evaporating Au on a partly g-covered surface, a modified Stranski-Krastanov growth on Ru with two atomic wetting layers followed by 3D islands is observed. At 970 K the growth follows a precise order: 1)The first wetting Au layer is grown exclusively on the g-free area of the Ru surface. 2)After completion of the Au/Ru layer, Au intercalation below g-flakes sets in. 3)Having completed the g/Au/Ru layer, second wetting Au layer growth ouside the g-covered area takes place. 4)After completion of the Au/Au/Ru layer, intercalation of the second Au layer underneath g sets in. At 970 K, Au is shown not to stick to g-covered surface regions. This crucial finding singles out the g-edges as the only intercalation channel. Chemical maps at different stages during Au growth point to a pronounced kinetic barrier at the g-edges preventing intercalation before the Au monolayer is completed outside the g-covered regions.
