▎ 摘 要
The moire pattern created by the epitaxy of a graphene sheet on an iridium substrate can be used as a template for the growth of 2D atomic or cluster arrays. We observed for the first time a coherent organization of hard magnetic preformed FePt nanoparticles on the 2D lattice of graphene on Ir(111). Nanoparticles of 2 nm diameter have been mass selected in a gas phase and deposited with low energy on the hexagonal moire pattern. Their morphology and organization have been investigated using grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering, while their magnetic properties have been studied by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, both pointing to a FePt cluster-graphene surface specific interaction. The spatial coherence of the nanoparticles is preserved upon annealing up to 700 degrees C where the hard magnetic phase of FePt is obtained.
