▎ 摘　　要

Growth kinetics of graphene and graphite layers on the surface of carbon-saturated rhenium has been investigated. The experimental data agree well with the results of the mathematical analysis of diffusion processes in the metal bulk with the participation of carbon atoms and the subsequent precipitation of carbon on the surface. It has been established that graphene layers of rigorously specified thickness in the range of 1-50 layers can be grown on metal in the temperature range of 1300-1500 K.
