The electronic structure of a single layer graphene on Ru(0001) is compared with that of a single layer hexagonal boron nitride nanomesh on Ru(0001). Both are corrugated sp2 networks and display a pi-band gap at the K point of their 1 x 1 Brillouin zone. Graphene has a distinct Fermi surface which indicates that 0.1 electrons are transferred per 1 x 1 unit cell. Photoemission from adsorbed xenon identifies two distinct Xe 5p1/2 lines, separated by 240 meV, which reveals a corrugated electrostatic potential energy surface. These two Xe species are related to the topography of the system and have different desorption energies.

Realization of a free-standing graphene is always a demanding task. Here we use scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy to study the crystallographic structure and electronic properties of the uniform free-standing graphene layers obtained by inte
rcalation of oxygen monolayer in the strongly bonded graphene/Ru(0001) interface. Spectroscopic data show that such graphene layer is heavily p-doped with the Dirac point located at 552 meV above the Fermi level. Experimental data are understood within DFT and the observed effects are in good agreement with the theoretical data.
Large-area bilayer graphene (BG) is grown epitaxially on Ru(0001) surface and characterized by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The lattice of the bottom layer of BG is stretched by 1.2%, while strain is absent from the top layer. The l
attice mismatch between the two layers leads to the formation of a moire pattern with a periodicity of ~21.5 nm and a mixture of AA- and AB-stacking. The root3 x root3 superstructure around atomic defects is attributed to the inter-valley scattering of the delocalized pi-electrons, demonstrating that the as-grown BG behaves like intrinsic free-standing graphene.
We study the formation of epitaxial graphene on Ru(0001) using fast x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy during the growth process. The assignment of different C 1s and Ru 3d core level components and their evolution during the growth process gives a det
ailed insight into the graphene formation and the strongly varying graphene-Ru interaction strength within the large moire unit cell. Subsequent intercalation of oxygen can be achieved at elevated temperature and the core level spectra show a conversion of the strongly corrugated to quasi free-standing graphene, characterised by a single narrow C 1s component. This conversion and the accompanying flattening of the graphene layer is also confirmed by x-ray photoelectron diffraction. The effect of oxygen intercalation on the electronic structure is studied using angle-resolved photoemission of the valence band states. For graphene/Ru(0001), the strong graphene-substrate hybridisation disrupts the {pi}-band dispersion but oxygen intercalation fully restores the {pi}-band with a strong p-doping that shifts the Dirac point 785 meV above the Fermi level. The doping of the system is highly tunable, as the additional exposure to rubidium can convert the carrier filling to n-type with the Dirac point 970 meV below the Fermi level.
We demonstrate a method for synthesizing large scale single layer graphene by thermal annealing of ruthenium single crystal containing carbon. Low energy electron diffraction indicates the graphene grows to as large as millimeter dimensions with good
long-range order, and scanning tunneling microscope shows perfect crystallinity. Analysis of Moire pattern augmented with first-principles calculations shows the graphene layer is incommensurate with the underlying Ru(0001) surface forming a N by N superlattice with an average lattice strain of ~ +0.81%. Our findings offer an effective method for producing high quality single crystalline graphene for fundamental research and large-scale graphene wafer for device fabrication and integration.
The growth, atomic structure, and electronic property of trilayer graphene (TLG) on Ru(0001) were studied by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy in combined with tight-binding approximation (TBA) calculations. TLG on Ru(000
1) shows a flat surface with a hexagonal lattice due to the screening effect of the bottom two layers and the AB-stacking in the top two layers. The coexistence of AA- and AB-stacking in the bottom two layers leads to three different stacking orders of TLG, namely, ABA-, ABC-, and ABB-stacking. STS measurements combined with TBA calculations reveal that the density of states of TLG with ABC- and ABB-stacking is characterized by one and two sharp peaks near to the Fermi level, respectively, in contrast to the V-shaped feature of TLG with ABA-stacking. Our work demonstrates that TLG on Ru(0001) might be an ideal platform for exploring stacking-dependent electronic properties of graphene.
