▎ 摘  要

Superlattice induced minigaps in graphene band structure due to underlying one-dimensional nanostructuration has been demonstrated. A superperiodic potential can be introduced in graphene if the substrate is periodically structured. The successful preparation of a periodically nanostructured substrate in large scale can be obtained by carefully studying the electronic structure with a spatial averaging technique such as high-energy resolution photoemission. In this work, we present two different growth methods such as temperature programmed growth (TPG) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). In both methods, we show that the original steps of Ir(332) have modified with (111) terraces and step bunching after graphene growth. Graphene grows continuously over the terrace and the step bunching areas. We observe that while TPG growth does not give rise to a well-defined surface periodicity required for opening a bandgap, the CVD growth does. By combining with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements, we correlate the obtained spatial periodicity to observed band gap opening in graphene.
