The samples are characterized by scanning tunnelling microscopy （STM） and Auger electron spectroscopy （AES）. STM images show that the Moire pattern is caused by the graphene layer mismatched with the underlying Ru（0001） surface and has an N × N superlattice. It is further found that the graphene monolayer on a Ru（0001） surface is very stable at high temperatures. Our results provide a simple and convenient method to produce a graphene monolayer on the Ru（0001） surface, which is used as a template for fabricating functional nanostructures needed in future nano devices and catalysis.展开更多

The geometric structures and electronic structures of the coronene on Ru（0001） are compared with those of the graphene/Ru（0001）. The results show that the coronene/Ru（0001） can be a simplified model system used to describe the interaction between graphene and ruthenium. Further calculations of the vibrational properties of coronene molecule adsorbed on Ru（0001） suggest that the phonon properties of differently corrugated regions of graphene on Ru（0001） are different. This model system is also used to investigate the selective adsorption of Ft atoms on graphene/Ru（0001）. The configurations of Pt on coronene/Ru（0001） with the lowest binding energy give clues to explain the experimental observation that a Pt cluster selectively adsorbs on the second highest regions of graphene/Ru（0001）. This work provides a simple model for understanding the adsorption properties and vibrational properties of graphene on Ru（0001） substrate.展开更多
