摘要
We have investigated single crystal Ir(111) films grown heteroepitaxially on Si(111) wafers with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layers as possible substrates for an up-scalable synthesis of graphene. Graphene was grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of ethylene. As surface analytical techniques we have used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The mosaic spread of the metal films was below 0.2 degrees similar to or even below that of standard Ir bulk single crystals, and the films were basically twin-free. The film surfaces could be improved by annealing so that they attained the perfection of bulk single crystals. Depending on the CVD conditions a lattice-aligned graphene layer or a film consisting of different rotational domains were obtained. STM data of the non-rotated phase and of the phases rotated by 14 degrees and 19 degrees were acquired. The quality of the graphene was comparable to graphene grown on bulk Ir(111) single crystals.
