▎ 摘　　要

The controlled synthesis of high-quality nitrogen (N) doped single layer graphene on the Ru(0001) surface has been achieved using the N-containing sole precursor azafullerence (C59NH). The synthesis process and doping properties have been investigated on the atomic scale by combining scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. We find for the first time that the concentration of N-related defects on the N-doped graphene/Ru(0001) surface is tunable by adjusting the dosage of sole precursor and the number of growth cycles. Two primary types of N-related defects have been observed. The predominant bonding configuration of N atoms in the obtained graphene layer is pyridinic N. Our findings indicate that the synthesis froth heteroatom-containing sole precursors is a very promising approach for the preparation of doped, graphene materials with controlled doping properties
