Sammendrag
Formation of graphene on Ru(0001) by exposure to ethylene and subsequent annealing has been studied by low-energy electron diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The stability of graphene/intercalated oxygen/Ru(0001) has been investigated by temperature programmed desorption spectroscopy. Desorption of CO and CO2 was observed upon heating the samples to temperatures above 700 K. It was found that the graphene layer was partly intact after the desorption run and that the intercalated oxygen was removed. It was concluded that the oxygen-intercalated graphene layer was stable up to temperatures of about 700 K.
