▎ 摘　　要

The formation of Pt and Rh nanoclusters on a graphene moire pattern on Cu(111) was studied with ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM). Isolated graphene islands with different periodicities were successfully grown on the Cu surface. As a result of weak coupling to the Cu substrate, different graphene rotational domains were observed including one with a periodicity of 4 nm that has not been previously reported. Furthermore, our results have shown that Pt and Rh form dispersed nanoclusters on graphene/Cu(111) with Pt forming more regular structures trapped mostly at the hollow sites. This variation in growth behavior is mainly attributed to differences in Pt-carbon and Rh-carbon interaction energies. Thermal stability experiments were also performed, and Pt clusters were found to be structurally stable up to 700 K.
