▎ 摘　　要

Here, we demonstrate two reliable routes for the fabrication of armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) on TbAu2/Au(111), belonging to a class of two-dimensional ferromagnetic rare earth-gold intermetallic compounds. On-surface synthesis directly on TbAu2 leads to the formation of GNRs, which are short and interconnected with each other. In contrast, the intercalation approach-on-surface synthesis of GNRs directly on Au(111) followed by rare earth intercalation-yields GNRs on TbAu2/Au(111), where both the ribbons and TbAu2 are of high quality comparable with those directly grown on clean Au(111). Besides, the as-grown ribbons retain the same band gap while changing from p-doping to weak n-doping mainly due to a change in the work function of the substrate after the rare earth intercalation. The intercalation approach might also be employed to fabricate other types rare earth intermetallic compounds, providing platforms to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties substrates.
