▎ 摘  要

The intercalation of iron under a graphene monolayer grown on 4H-SiC(0001) is studied. The experiments have been carried out in situ under conditions of ultrahigh vacuum by low-energy electron diffraction, high-energy-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, and near carbon K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The deposited iron film thicknesses have been varied within 0.1-2 nm and the sample temperatures from room temperature to 700A degrees C. It is shown that the intercalation process begins at temperatures higher than similar to 350A degrees C. In this case, it is found that intercalated iron atoms are localized not only between graphene and a buffer layer coating SiC, but also under the buffer layer itself. The optimal conditions of the intercalation are realized in the range 400-500A degrees C, because, at higher temperatures, the system becomes unstable due to the chemical interaction of the intercalated iron with silicon carbide. The inertness of the intercalated films to action of oxygen is demonstrated.
