▎ 摘  要

The interaction of Fe deposited on graphene grown on Ir(111) was studied in detail to better understand the growth, intercalation, and oxidation of Fe ultrathin films on and under graphene. The study has combined a multiple technique approach that allows extracting at once the chemical, topographic, and precise atomic structure of the system submitted to different conditions of growth and atmospheric environment. For instance, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements allowed us to follow the formation of Fe nanostructures during Fe deposition and intercalation. Synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-XPS) untangled the different chemical environments for C-Fe bonds. We have also used photoelectron diffraction experiments to site-specifically unravel the atomic structure of the intercalated Fe under graphene. Oxidation experiments were also performed for samples prepared under different conditions which revealed that indeed one can set the sample temperature to selectively protect or oxidize the intercalated/supported materials, which open interesting possibilities to engineer complex metal-oxide graphene-based devices.
